The next meeting will be October 28th, 6:30p: Magnetism.
Magnets appear to be magical. All of us have played with them from time to time. We will have magnets on hand in a number of different forms and will hands on explore what they can do, and learn a bit about how they do it. Electro-magnetism – the mechanism that drives electric motors and generators – will also be explored. Hope to see you then! Bring your friends! For more information, contact Bill Friday, 256-527-8227, bill.friday@earthlink.net.

October: Tourmaline - This gemstone occurs in many colors, from tri-colored "watermelon" tourmaline, to intense violet-to-blue gems of Brazil, to blues of Africa, to black "schorl". A favorite of mineral collectors, carvers, and jewelry artists! Opal - This gemstone has microscopic arrays of stacked silica spheres that diffract light into a blaze of flashing colors. An opal’s color range and pattern help determine its value.
