Second Saturday at FLC

Exploding trash can geyser!

Today was second Saturday at FLC. This occurs on the 2nd Saturday of every month and this was my first time being a part of it. Friday we set up and it was rewarding to see everything assembled and ready, knowing that Sharalynn  (my AmeriCorps cohort) and I had done the work ourselves.

Some of the displays ready for Second Saturday

When Saturday came I was blown away by how many people came out to enjoy the nice weather and see what we had to offer. 

I spent most of my time at a table demonstrating how geothermal energy works. We also had several types of volcanic rock on hand which was a very popular exhibit! I got to show kids how the rate at which molten rock cools affects the final appearance.

We capped the day off with a trash can "geyser" which got cheers all around.
