The first meeting of the Dirty Rascals 4-H Junior Master Gardner Club involved something a little different for this group. Yes, dirt was involved, but so were soldering irons, batteries, and a new lingo concerning circuits, leds and more. The group met to put together electric projects. Taught by Alex Evans who is working toward being a 4-H Electric Congress delegate, the club members learned about the soil probe, how to put it together, what resistors are for, and the agony and defeat of making little Hersey kisses with molten metal. In the end the projects were completed and lit up when the coper probe was placed into the soil. It was a great project to learn about soil moisture and electricity all at one time.
This club meets each month on the second Tuesday of the month beginning at 5:30 pm. For more information about this or any of our 4-H clubs please contact Wendy Maynor at Wendy_Maynor@ncsu.edu or (910) 671-3276.
