Room 8 2nd Class: Soil & Materials investigations

This week we carried out a soil investigation. We examined a soil sample and half filled a jar with the soil. We then filled the rest of the jar with water and shook it up. After an hour we checked to see what had happened and we recorded our results.
We also took a walk around the school grounds to find certain items like leaves, twigs, stones, flowers and lots more to sort their characteristics i.e. are they hard/soft, crumbly, shiny, rough etc.
​We really enjoyed the investigations and recording our results.
