Pink Sand Beach
Time for some blog homework 6th grade! Read the article linked below and explain why the sand on this beach is pink. Pretty amazing right!?!
The sand at Harbour Island is pink because it is a composition of broken down coral, broken shells, minute rocks, and calcium carbonate from tiny marine invertebrate. The color comes from a microscopic shelled animal called Foraminifera that has a bright pink or red shells. This is what caused the sand to be pink. -Sebastian
The beaches are pink because of the tiny microscopic shelled animals known as Foraminifera. This animal has a bright pink shell full of holes through wich it extends a footing called pseudopodia.

I learned that shells can be microscopic and the beach is pink because of these microscopic shells are pink.

The Foraminifera's pinkish shell was washed onto the shore from the current and fish, to expose the pink color.

the beach is pink because an animal called Foraminifera is pink and they get washed up on the shore by waves or fish and they feed on them.

The sand is pink because a microscopic organism called Foraminifera that has a bright pink shell gets washed up and turns the sand pink.
