This SoilLAB Activity Book is designed to give children an insight into conceptual knowledge about soil. Practitioners, leaders and teachers must support children’s learning through offering opportunities for them to: teach them how to operate a range of tools safely; encounter creatures, plants and objects in their natural environments and in real life situations; undertake 6 practical scientific experiments which make them work with a range of materials... Children will generally progress in t heir understanding of soil: Without soil, we would not be able to grow any crops or other useful plants, support any livestock, or have materials for building shelter!
