1. Under Foot:  Investigation 1.4

What is soil made of?

3. Share the data

All Class 10 Mins
Class chart:  Observations of Soils

Ask students to share their observations, and as they do, represent them in the large Venn diagram. Let the students decide whether an observation is particular to soil "A," particular to soil "B," or shared by both.

Help students to develop good data recording practices by asking that they read their observations directly from their notebooks.

Do not try to resolve seemingly contradictory data at this time. Instead, record all the students’ observations.
