About this item

Teaches All About Soil

Demonstrate soil formation process
Differentiate between soil and sediment
Includes a teacher's guide

Even though soil forms a layer only a few feet thick in most parts of the world, all life depends on it. Students will learn how important it is by starting with the basics, learning exactly how soil is formed. They’ll make their own “rock” from carbonates, simulate the effects of acid rain by conducting experiments with vinegar and water, see the role plant life plays in the formation of soil, and learn how to determine the difference between finely crushed rock particles and true soil. The set includes enough materials for 15 setups, a teacher’s guide, and instructions.
