In our Science lessons we have been looking at the properties and importance of soil.

We planned an investigation to see what happened when we mixed soil with water. We had four different samples of soils to see if something different happened to each of them. Whilst one group completed the water investigation, it gave the other half of the class the opportunity to explore the soils further, and see what they looked like up close. Were they wet? Were they dry? Did they contain anything? 

The children loved this experiment. Especially when they could shake the bottles to combine the water and soil sample!
