We
got down and dirty during our Soil Study today! After learning about the types and
layers of soil and its importance small groups used magnifying lenses to examine soil
samples and identify the organic material in them. I collected soil from my backyard
because potting soil won't have a variety of material in it. Students drew and
labeled what they discovered, then wrote reasons why soil is
important. Material students dug up included moss, plant roots, mulch, pebbles, fetilizer, dead leaves, and even an acorn shell.
Some
videos that help give students the dirt on soil are:
awesome hands on activities. Her students are luck to have her !
