Lab # 6 Jackson Spring

Jackson Spring Park is located at 998 Nottingham Drive in the Shirley Hills neighborhood, Macon, Georgia. The land was left to the "white children and women" of Macon from the wealthy landowner who lived in that area.  The land was eventually sold by the city and bought by commercial industries such as an apartment complex and the Kroger that are in the area.  While we were at the park we looked at very many different types of rocks and used a rock to break them open and look inside.  Rocks from the park itself and near the river is what we examined.  Also the sieve was used to examine the creek beds contents.  This helped us examine the different sizes and contents that are present in the creek.  Also it was a little chilly that day.
