Hickory Flat Library Homeschool

Explore the hidden world beneath your feet in this engaging homeschool library program on soil, clay, and rocks! Participants will discover how different earth materials are formed, how they feel and behave, and why they matter in nature. Through simple hands-on demonstrations, learners will observe how water moves differently through sandy soil, dense clay, and solid rock—soaking in quickly, pooling on the surface, or flowing around barriers. This program builds a foundational understanding of earth science while connecting it to real-world topics like plant growth, erosion, and groundwater, making it perfect for curious young naturalists.
