Happy October everyone! If the date on the calendar didn’t let us know that summer has officially come to an end, then the temperatures we experienced this weekend surely did. While fall in Connecticut is amazing, we are still a little sad summer is over. So, we decided to play with some sand to hold onto that last little bit of summer. There are two different kinds of sand we are going to explore today. Right away, we can tell they are different because they are two different colors, but what else could be different about them? Watch the full Science Sunday segment below to learn more.
