Experience type:

Virtual Field Trip

Program Description

Soil is much more than rocks and old leaves - it's a vibrant ecosystem. Since people walk on top of the soil, we often don't consider what's underneath. Your students will explore how soil is made, the layers of the soil, and the animals, plants, and fungi that both rely on and help create a healthy ecosystem.

Big Ideas

All living things sense and respond to their environment.

Earth materials change as they move through the rock cycle and can be used as natural resources.

Multicellular organisms have organ systems that enable them to survive and interact within their environment.

Multicellular organisms rely on internal systems to survive, reproduce, and interact with their environment.

Earth and its climate have changed over geological time.

Evolution by natural selection provides an explanation for the diversity and survival of living things.
