Tuesdays with Tuvol


Sea Glass. Where is it from? How is it made? We are going to find this out right now.

Sea glass is made from glass bottles that are broken in the ocean. They could be dropped from a boat or ship. They break up on the reef and rocks. As the sand wears down the sharp edges, they become smooth. We find them on the beach because the ocean current pushes them into the shore line.

Sea glass is wonderful and curious. Some people make jewelery out of them. I just like to collect them. Sea glass comes in all different colors. Blue, red, green, or my favorite - orange. You can find most of these colors on the west side of our beaches. I hope to collect a bunch more.
