Sandboxes are places of play and experimentation, whether for a child building a sand structure or an inventor trying out an idea.



Understanding Sand
According to NOAA, "Sand forms when rocks break down from weathering and eroding over thousands and even millions of years."

Sand has long served humanity by providing raw materials for structures, sandbags, computer chips, and more.

The tan color of most sand comes from a combination of iron oxide and feldspar.
