A
learning
activity
for
the
Scoop
on
Soils
book
in
the
Elementary
GLOBE
Series.
Each
student
will
make
predictions
about
the
properties
of
various
soil
samples.
Then
they
will
examine
several
types
of
soils
and
record
their
observations.
Next,
they
will
learn
about
soil
profiles
and
horizons
by
both
examining
a
soil
sample
in
a
jar
and
by
creating
a
soil
profile
flip
chart.
