About This Item

Description

Uncover the origins of dirt and distinguish between dirt and soil. Explore the roles of a soil engineer by digging like a mole and building like a beaver. Investigate global practices of using dirt and soil for dyeing clothes and constructing homes. Plant your very own mini cat grass farm and witness the interconnectedness of trees through an underground network of fungi. In a multi-subject integration approach, learners collaborate, engineer and reflect, gaining a holistic understanding of the importance of soil. Each activity includes a schedule, materials list, topic background information, step-by-step directions, and optional extension activities. Note: Educators will need to purchase 20 lbs of sand separately.
