Today, we joined Mrs. K. Smith's class to begin our new ASMTI unit - Soils. (Mrs. Davis has to go back to AMSTI this summer so she can be trained to teach Soils.)
We used a magnifying glass to look at three different kinds of soils: sand, humus, and clay. We talked about the characteristics we noticed about each soil and wrote about them in our science journal. We even taped a little of each on our pages so we won't forget what they look like.
After we studied the different kinds of soils, we made two boxes with layered soil almost exactly alike. Guess what the different in the two boxes is?WORMS!!!!!!
Our homework tonight was to put something in a ziploc bag that we think we can use to feed the worms in our box.
Stay tuned to find out why we needed a box with worms and a box without! We just cannot imagine what we're going to do with those worms!
