ACTIVITY: Look at dierent kinds of soil MATERIALS: • a tin-can half full of moist topsoil (moist means it is not dry) • a hand lens or some other kind of magnifier • a sheet of white paper • toothpicks, matches or pieces of dried grass that you use for moving the little pieces of soil. INSTRUCTIONS 1. Smell the soil in the tin. Does it have a smell? 2. Put ateaspoonful of the topsoil on the white paper and spread it out. 3. Use your stick to move the small bits of soil that you find there. Look at the soil with the magnifier. Make piles of bits that look the same. Look closely at the soil. What pieces do you find there? 102 Earth and Beyond
• One pile will be rock grains. You will find very small pieces of rock and some pieces that are not so small. There will also be some grains that are almost too small to see. • Another pile will be small bits of plants. You will find very small pieces of sticks, leaves and roots. • Another pile will be small bits of animals. You will find very small pieces of beetle shell, or legs, or wings of flies. • You may even find asmall live animal! If you do find one, do a drawing of it on your paper and then let it go on the soil outside. QUESTIONS: 1. What colour is your soil? Use words like "dark brown", "grey" "orange" or "yellow". 2. Complete the sentence: Soil has sand but it also has ... Rock particles, organic matter such as pieces of plants and dead animals, etc. 3. Draw some of the grains of rock (sand) that you find. Draw any small bits of plants or bits of dead animals that you see in the soil. Draw any small living animals that you find in the soil. Then let them go, outside. We can make soil in afew weeks, but only asmall amount of soil. ACTIVITY: Begin to make soil Teacher's Note The class should begin this activity on the first day of the 4th term, because it needs about 3weeks to be complete. In this activity you begin the slow process of making soil. Your class perhaps started your compost column in the first week of the term. Chapter 2. Surface of the Earth 103
