All About Soil

We spent several weeks in April learning about "soil". We took soil samples from our meadow and sifted it to investigate its composition. We observed the differences between healthy growing soil and compacted soil.





Back at school, our class made a chart to describe: what we knew, what we learned and what we wondered about "soil".



After snapping some digital photos in the forest, our students used PowerPoint to label areas of healthy growing soil and compacted soil. Shown below is Parwez's work from Rm 208.
