Great Day to Observe Sand and Soil

We started with a nature walk to observe sand and soil around the school. We found many exciting things along the way. We saw a bird nest, the inside of an animal, bugs, frogs, and a rainbow around the sun. I just love how these scientists observe things in nature. We ended our science time by observing our sand and soil samples. We found out that soil is the outermost layer of the Earth’s surface and is made up of crushed rocks and once living plants and animals. Sand has the largest particles and is made by rocks/shells that are broken into smaller pieces by water, wind and pressure or erosion.
