What is sand? Where does it come from? How does it get to the beach? Why is it different colors?
Let the sandpiper sleuth show you the way...
See how sand moves around by hitching rides with rivers, waves, wind, and even ice. Marvel over sand grains magnified many times their size in the sleuth's handy glass. And, then, find out how you can experiment with making your own sand!
Come along for a lively, collage-style look at a familiar substance that's never been so fascinating: sand.
