beach 3It’s summertime and we’re all thinking about the beach – so we’re sharing two weeks of beach map and science resources for you to enjoy. Hope you get a day on the beach this summer!

Read and explore another collection of science projects related to the beach. Read the excerpt below and follow the link for all the great beach science…

“A beach is a narrow, gently sloping strip of land that lies along the edge of an ocean, lake, or river. Materials such as sand, pebbles, rocks, and seashell fragments cover beaches.

Oceans play a crucial role in creating and sustaining life – covering approximately 70 percent of the Earth’s surface. Consequently, learning about oceans should be a key feature of every child’s science education. Whether intended for use in class or entry into a science fair, ocean projects are not just a fun and exciting way of learning but can be conducted without getting wet.”
