A
learning
activity
for
the
Scoop
on
Soils
book
in
the
Elementary
GLOBE
Series.
Each
student
will
explore
three
activities
that
promote
understanding
of
and
respect
for
soil.
They
will
generate
responses
to
the
following
questions:
"What
makes
up
soil?"
and
"What
lives
in
the
soil?"
Next
the
students
will
watch
a
demonstration
of
how
much
soil
there
is
on
Earth
that
is
available
for
human
use.

In
this
activity,
students
will
record
a
list
of
things
they
already
know
about
hummingbirds
and
a
list
of
things
they
would
like
to
learn
about
hummingbirds.
Then
they
will
conduct
research
to
find
answers
to
their
questions.
Using
their
new
knowledge,
each
student
will
make
a
hummingbird
out
of
art
supplies.
Finally,
using
their
hummingbirds
as
props,
the
students
will

demonstrates
the
importance

are
the

In
this
lesson,
students
explore
how
groundwater
contamination
can
spread
through
aquifers
by
participating
in
a
groundwater
plume
simulation.
Students
will
consider
where
they
would
look
to
determine
the
source
of
groundwater
contamination
and
where
they
could
turn
for
assistance;
explore
the
possible
contamination
of
Nevada
groundwater
by
a
major
nuclear
test
site
by

The
purpose
of
this
resource
is
to
continuously
measure
soil
and
air
temperature
at
one
site.
Students
install
four
temperature
probes;
three
are
placed
in
the
soil
at
three
different
depths
and
one
is
placed
in
an
instrument
shelter.
Students
use
a
data
logger
to
record
readings
from
the
probes
every
15
minutes.
Students
transfer
the
data
to
their
