Soil

Here is a very well done elementary educational video discussing the importance of soil.  The University of New Mexico created it. They use vocabulary that is easy to understand.  The video will discusses what is found in soil and how it is important to humans and animals.

This is a cute song about soil that can be used as an introduction to soil for younger students.

In this activity, students will determine the type of soil they have as well as figure out the pH level of the soil. Students will reinforce their soil vocabulary in this lab: sand, clay, silt, loam. Students will practice using a soil pyramid.
