As we continue to explore soil, today students truly got their hands dirty and looked more closely at what is exactly inside the soil in our own community. Some of the things we found inside our soil samples included:

• rocks
• roots
• topsoil
• sand
• clay
• moisture

Students smelled the soil, felt the soil, examined it, recorded what they found, and sorted their soil into piles according to the things they found. Have a look!

Have you ever explored in soil?

What sorts of things did you find?
