This past week, kindergarteners explored one of our garden's most valuable resources -- the soil! We asked the questions 'What is soil?' and 'What is soil made of?'
To start our investigation, students gathered samples of soil from the garden and then they worked in teams to look at it closely and take it apart. They separated out as many different ingredients as they could see, using tweezers and magnifying lenses and placing their soil findings in egg cartons.
Students looked at soil in a new way, and practiced using tools: shovels, tweezers and magnifying lenses.
