Rocks Alive! A free, outdoor, come-and-go event for all ages at Acton Nature Center, Sept. 28, 10am-2pm.
What’s in a rock that sustains life? And soil – why do we need it? How about water, air, and even the sun? Discover why life would not exist were it not for the non-living (physical) foundations on which all life relies. Interact with exhibitors to get the inside scoop on how rocks, soil, water (surface and underground), and climate/weather shape and support Texas landscapes and ecosystems. Get a peek at what’s up with outer space. Fun and educational activities for children: finding a fossil, layered sediments in a bottle, creating pictures with pebbles, and building a mini ecosystem.
