Soil, It’s More than Dirt

This class will begin with interactive storytelling where all attendees will play a part. The story will be followed by hands-on activities that include simple science experiments and exploring with magnifying lenses. Next will be an art project related to the story and the experiments. Everyone will receive handouts to take home for further learning.

This class will focus on the water in soil and the chemical reactions that happen there. Children will learn about the nutrients that make up the food for plants and how these nutrients get changed in the water so plants can use them. They will also learn about how good soil structure is necessary for the water to flow around plant roots. Adults and children will be given information to help them understand the different types of fertilizers.

Registration is required. This is an in-person event.
