SOIL for Grades K-2

Healthy soil is essential for the survival of plants. Soil is composed of four main “ingredients”: minerals, water, air and organic matter.

Compost is our natural recycling system. Decomposers are essential for breaking down large organic matter in our soil.

In this lesson weʻll learn to identify the various roles of organisms within the food web and gain an understanding of how energy chains function in our soil.

Topsoil is a necessity to life on the plant. Plants play a crucial role in creating and protecting topsoil by minimizing erosion and increasing water absorption of our soil.
