This activity blends social studies and art with math and science. First, students will explore the visible characteristics of sand, and then they will make Navajo-style sand paintings with paper, glue, and colored sand. In the process, they will hone their estimation skills by assessing the number of sand grains on their paintings, as well as in a small bag of sand. They will gain an appreciation for the meaning, beauty, and utility of Navajo sand paintings.
