Year 3 Science - What is soil made up of?

Lesson: Science

Class: Year 3 Year: 2016 - 2017

On Friday, Year 3 ventured outside for their science lesson. We were learning about rocks and soils and wanted to know what soil was made up of. To help us, Miss Jones hid clue cards outside on the playground. The children had to then find out what was in soil and why it was important. The children were amazed to find out that soil had clay, silt, organic matter, water, sand, air and animals in it!
