Pre-Kindergarteners get their hands dirty in science class

1/19/2022

Pre-kindergarteners got their hands dirty this morning in science class (figuratively) as they learned to differentiate between dirt and soil. Students used an ocular to closely examine dirt samples and shared ideas of what dirt actually contains (sticks, rocks, pieces of different plants). This lesson is part of their unit about seeds and and a foundation for third grade plant studies. Next, PKers will learn about roots and the major parts of a tree as well as the animals that coexist there.
