A little about this puzzle

In a geology park teaching pavilion, a student gathers loose sand inside a practice dig box with a small scoop while a teacher and another student watch. A soft brush rests on the rim, and a round sieve leans against the box. A ruler, open notebook, pencil and flat skeleton puzzle board lie on the research table, with a small flag marking a spot in the sand. Layered cliffs are visible outside. The illustration uses Bold Adventure Comic. Choose the Color or Line art image, use the picture clues to find each object, and keep the Answer key separate until you are ready to check. The three images can be printed or saved as PDF using your browser.
