Kearny High School -

KHS: Monday, 10/23, Kearny High School's Planet Earth class visited the Earth and Space Science Department at Rutgers University in Newark. They learned about and participated in geology and atmospheric studies. Our students were able to use equipment used in mineralogy, petrology, geophysics, atmospheric research, and petroleum geology. They used ground penetrating radar, saw how rock thin sections are made in a rock lab with a diamond saw, and played the Oil Game, simulating how geologists and oil companies determine where to drill for oil and gas. And pizza! Thank you to Jose Torre and Jen Mead for chaperoning with us, and to Rutgers for hosting us. GREAT TRIP!!! Linda Glickstein Science Department Kearny High School
