Soil analysis

On Tuesday 25th May we did a soil experiment where we got a bit of soil from the nursery garden and took it apart. We sorted the soil on bits of paper. We found all sorts of things from stones to worms. We had to sort the things we found in to piles and make sure they went into the right pile so they didn’t get mixed up. We kept 3 of the soil piles and their piles of stones and other things to put on display. Some people put their bugs under cups to stop them running away. Some people gave their bugs names. There were Bobs, Freddi’s, a Susan Boyle and a Gordon Ramsay. After the experiment, all the bugs were put outside, and the soil was put back in the nursery garden. Here are some comments about the experiment:

Ponakins said, ”I really enjoyed the soil experiment and finding all the bugs!”
Rascal said, “I thought it was really fun and enjoyed holding the worms!”
Fets said, “I thought it was very cool!”
