Soils
Grade Level: 2nd

This fascinating introduction to soil allows children to explore a familiar material in completely new ways. Through long-term experiments, students examine soil components, the effects of water, plant growth in soil, and (with the help of worms) decomposition/recycling. As they participate in the inquiry-based learning activities, students practice observing, recording data, interpreting results, and other vital skills.

Part of the Science and Technology for Children® curriculum, this unit is aligned with the National Science Education Standards and offers complete hands-on instruction. Unit Kit comes with a Teacher's Guide and the materials (including a coupon redeemed for the worms) needed for a class of 30 students to complete the unit in about 8 weeks. Refurbishment Set replenishes kit consumables.
