Who knew learning about soil/dirt could be so much fun AND tasty! :) To conclude our unit on soil we made edible treats on Friday. Students created layers of soil and used different goodies to represent each layer and the different types of soil.
For the bottom layer of bedrock we used mini marshmallows. Next, we add Cheerios for the subsoil layer.
M&M's were used to represent organic matter and Cocoa Krispies cereal was used for Humus.
Finally, we topped it off with gummy/sour worms for our decomposers.
By the end of the activity the kiddos were devouring their cup of goodies, and everybody agreed this was their favorite edible activity thus far.
Either way, Mrs. P was excited because they ALL knew the different types of soil, and were excited about learning which is all that matters! :)
