Knox County Library Program

In February, the Knox County Extension presented “Our World” to the Bloomfield, Creighton, and Niobrara Libraries and Isanti Community School After School Program. The students were able to have a hands-on experience using playdough to create our world.  They then discussed all the types of soil, land and water that make up our world. By using the playdough, they were able to see the small fraction of our earth that can grow our food.  Through discussion, students were able to identify types of basic resources and describe how humans affect our environment.
