Our 2nd grade scholars enjoyed their trip to the Franklin Mineral Mine and Museum recently. They have been studying rocks and minerals in science class and a trip to the museum in Sussex County, NJ expanded their learning greatly. Students toured through the amazing exhibits at the museum and explored the site’s mineral mine. They discovered so many different rocks and minerals found both in New Jersey and around the world. Scholars collected rock samples, some of which fluoresce under UV light, and brought home many samples to start or add to their own rock collections. The trip was a great complement to their science curriculum.
