Poem on Geology by Jack Shimon

Geology
by Jack Shimon, CSMS Pebble Pups Age 7

I like geology, geology, geology
I like geology because:
     finding rocks and
     crystals and
     fossils

I like geology, geology, geology
I like geology because:
     things I do like sitting in dinosaur tracks and
     climbing rocks and
     having fun with friends

I like geology, geology, geology
I like geology because:
     places I go like rivers and
     gold panning and
     lots of field trips

I like geology, geology, geology
I like geology because:
     using cool tools like picks and
     hammers and
     measuring tapes

I like geology, geology, geology
Geology is fun to do. Maybe you should try it too.

Welcome! This is the gateway to adventure and discovery

Through this blog pebble pups and junior members of the Colorado Springs Mineralogical Society can access their lessons, work on assignments and projects, and receive details about field trips in the Pikes Peak Region. This Internet program is also suitable for young people who are interested in Earth science but do not live near a rock club or gem and mineral society or for young people anywhere who want a deeper dive into these topics. The only requirement is that all participants must be members of the Colorado Springs Mineralogical Society and must fill out the CSMS membership form (under important websites) and send their registration and membership fee in. Steven Veatch is the senior instructor and will need an email from you with your name, address, phone number, and permission from your parents to participate in this program.
