Jackson Spring Park

Jackson Spring Park is absolutely gorgeous.  Learning the history of the area was eye opening.


On a more geologic arena, we looked at rocks.  The Gneiss rocks were interesting to look at because of the orderly structure.
 

We also took some of the soil and placed it into the tube that separates the larger and small pieces from each other.  Each level of the tube further separates the material until you are left with the finest materials at the bottom.  When we were at the community gardens, we sorted the soil by shaking the tube, but at the park, we sorted them out by placing water in the tube and slightly stirring it around.
