Summer Science: Dirt Explorations

We began our summer of growing and exploring by taking a closer look at dirt. We explored the composition of soil and focused on three main ingredients: sand, humus, and clay. Young scientists compared and contrasted each ingredient and shared their observations. We explored how each ingredient responds to water and even worked on some dirt paintings!

Depending on what's being grown, and where, the soil composition will be different. During our time in the Lab garden, we collected a soil sample for further exploration later on in the week.
