DIGGING DEEP FOR EARTH SCIENCE FACTS

The first of a series of Rocks workshops was held at Leatherhead Trinity Primary School on 5^th March.  Led by SATRO’s professional geologist, Year 3 children had a hands-on opportunity to investigate rock specimens.  Simple experiments were conducted to identify different mineral samples and an introduction to soils enabled the pupils to have an understanding of their geological environment.  This workshop was kindly sponsored by the GeoScience Department at ExxonMobil.  A further four workshops in local Leatherhead schools are scheduled for the coming weeks.
