Saturday Excursions: Black Sand Treasure Hunt October 24, 2009

Saturday, October 24 | 10:30am
Location: Ocean Beach - Meet at Vicente and Great Highway

Join Exploratorium educator Ken Finn in search of elusive “black sand” (aka the magnetic mineral magnetite) at Ocean Beach. Tools and materials will be provided, and we’ll send you home with black sand, magnets, and an activity sheet so you can make your own miniature Black Sand exhibit—just like the one at the Exploratorium. Black Sand is one of the most popular exhibits at the museum. Visitors of all ages can’t keep their hands off it! So join us on October 24, and bring the fun home. We’ll meet at Vicente & Great Highway at 10:30 a.m.
