Wednesday Scientist report due tomorrow

We are learning about soils. The students were asked to explain why learning about soils affects them. We decided that it affects us in growing good crops, in building homes in safe areas, and in having clothing to wear. We then watched a video from Agrium teaching the students that soil is made from silt, sand clay and organic matter. We learned about taking care of our groundwater so we will have clean water to drink. Then we went into the lab and got the feel of silt, sand and soil. It was a little messy, but the students could see and feel what the lesson was about.

Scientist reports are due at the start of each class tomorrow. Please have them done and in on time. Put them on top of your school supplies so the paper is not left at home. Save your mom the trip to school.
