We walk on it, see it blowing in the wind, grow our food in it. Soil! But what is it, really? Guide students through an exciting exploration of the soil beneath their feet wrapped up in 5E lesson plans where students investigate through active learning, then apply their new knowledge to soil as a resource, its importance, and how we can conserve it.
Leveled Readers are available in four Lexile Measures, distinguished by a color key on the back of each reader.
