Short summary
Sedimentary Rock! is a new tool that converts columnar sections into human hearing and rhythmic senses. It is easy to use, and learners understand that the strata consist of concepts of grain size and stratum thickness as they work to create a columnar section. Furthermore, the learners know that the stacks of strata represent the geological history, and the changes in grain size and thickness indicate the environmental changes.
