The No Sweat Nature Study Podcast

Rock nature study might seem boring, but it can be fascinating if you know a little something about rocks. In this episode, you'll learn about sandstone, a sedimentary rock that is easily sculpted by wind and water to form stunning landscapes around the world!

Supplies for the nature study challenge:

• nature journal or blank, white paper
• colored pencils
• clear tape

In the companion Sandstone Video Lesson found in the No Sweat Nature Study LIVE membership, you'll learn about several amazing and varied landscapes made from sandstone. They are so cool! You'll also get an overview of the life cycle of sedimentary rocks, as well as learn about the important process of weathering and erosion as it pertains to sandstone landforms. Earth science is so much fun!
