Next Generation Scientists Get the Feel of Earth Science
Nearly 120 middle school students from the ABC Unified School District’s Next Generation
Scientist Club visited the campus on January 30.
After taking a campus tour, the students participated in some fun activities hosted
by the Earth Science Department, including density bottle-making using liquids of
different densities, glitter, and food coloring, a Kahoot game exploring environmental
issues and geographic features of the western U.S., and trying some essential earth
sciences tools such as earthquake machines, stream tables, rock identification, microscopes,
and more.
The students also got to hear from the professors about careers and the College’s
guided pathways in geology and geography.
The one-day event introduced middle school students to college life and earth science.
