Volcanoes in Illinois?! Not recently, but come make your own volcanic eruption, watch a trash can volcano, and see the microscopic components of what makes up volcanic ash. Museum scientists will discuss eruption types and styles, as well as the benefits and hazards associated with volcanoes.
At 2 p.m. geologist Sara Kurth will present “Minerals of Minecraft: An Exploration of Obsidian.” A vital piece in the world of Minecraft, obsidian is formed through volcanic processes. Sara will discuss how obsidian forms, the variations of obsidian, and maybe dispel some myths surrounding this interesting rock. (*Not approved by or associated with Mojang)
