Our Earth, Our Laboratory

Students in grades 7 and 8 are invited to apply for Geaux Science Explorations: Our Earth, Our Laboratory — a day of fun earth and energy science activities led by some of LSU's top scientists.

Learn how to measure and record earthquakes, lunch and chat with LSU scientists, and enjoy fun, hands-on activities hosted by a variety of science programs and clubs from LSU.

We are planning next year's Our Earth, Our Laboratory event. Follow us on social media for other outreach activities.

Hands-on Learning

With the help of LSU faculty, student, and staff volunteers, participants will build their own seismograph to test out.

Participants put together their seismographs.

Like-minded Peers

With a smaller group, participants can really get to know each other and find similarities aside from their interest in geology and geophysics.

Beyond Earthquakes

LSU student organizations lead participants in more hands-on experiments to teach other geology and geophysics concepts.
