Why is there sand at the beach? In-Person
Have you ever wondered why beaches are covered in sand? Join us for this fascinating session of *What? How? Why?* to uncover the story of sand! We’ll explore how rocks break down over time to create the tiny grains we find at the beach and learn about the natural forces—like wind and water—that shape coastlines. Through hands-on activities, we’ll dive into the science of erosion and discover the journey of sand from mountains to the shore. Perfect for students in grades 3 and up, with K-2 students welcome to participate with a parent. Let’s uncover the secrets hidden in every grain of sand!
