Today we spent some of the morning taking a closer look at soil. The students paired up and were able to use magnifying glasses to take a super close up look at more than one soil sample. We've discussed in previous lessons that soil always contains both living and non-living things. Today the students discovered the following items in their soil samples:
sticks, roots, pieces of leaves, large soil clumps, tiny rocks, fertilizer, insects (living), insects (dead), hair, water (moisture).
Everyone enjoyed using the magnifying glasses. Hopefully later on this week we'll get the chance to take them outside.
