From the Brigham City Museum of Art & History:
We thought we'd end the week with another one of our lessons with Ron Cefalo, Curator of the Natural History Collection. In this video, Ron offers an overview of Box Elder County's mining history and uses minerals in our collection to explain what happened when an earthquake occurred many eons ago. Click here to watch the video: youtu.be/zoq_54_xBGU
Image Description: A man in a plaid shirt and denim overalls stands in front of a display of minerals. His hands are pressed together to demonstrate how minerals react during earthquakes.
About exploring old mines, Ron says:
1. Don't go alone. Tell other people where you and your group plan to explore.
2. Old mines can collapse in an instant. Don't explore the tunnels.
3. The air quality inside is poor and may be dangerous to breathe.

Jimmy, a Cache Valley 5th grader, attended our Jan. 26 Science Unwrapped at USU event and observed "scribblebots" demonstrated by the USU College of Engineering Ambassadors. At home the next day, the intrepid young engineer made his own scribblebot, using a plastic cup, pens and a battery! Well done, Jimmy! We're glad you were inspired to create. :)
At Utah State University’s College of Science, we receive many inquiries about STEM opportunities for children and teens. Our university offers many of these, but they’re coordinated by many different groups throughout campus, as well as organizations in the community. We started this page to provide a convenient, “one-stop” place, where parents, youth leaders, teens and children could easily find out about local STEM opportunities.
