All about shells

DID YOU KNOW?

When you put a shell up to your ear, it sounds like the ocean, but

it really isn’t. You’re actually hearing an echo from all the

sounds around you . . . jumbled into a big whoosh. (You can still

pretend, though!)

Some beaches are almost completely covered in shells. At Shell Beach (Western Australia) you’ll find miles and miles of

shells up to 32 feet deep—that’s as high as a three-story house.

Have you ever seen a shell?

Tuesday
