Class Focus on Unit H - Mrs Rickus

In Unit H, we have been exploring a range of soils and rocks for our Beneath Our Feet Unit in Science. 

We have been learning about the features of different soil and have conducted an experiment to see what happens when water is added to a jar of soil and then left to sit. We discovered that all the bits of leaves, bark, sand particles, sticks and plant parts completely separated from the soil and rose to the surface. 

We have also been learning about the 3 main natural rock types: igneous, metamorphic and sedimentary. We have done lots of research on these rock types and presented our findings to the class. Using our knowledge and understanding, we’ve then sorted rocks that we have collected under these 3 categories. 

We hope you enjoy our photos on the next page (Page 3).
