Where did the soil go after the storm?
In this Grade 2 earth science adventure, students investigate a High Plains landscape for clues. They follow muddy runoff, look for soil that has collected in new places, compare grassy and exposed ground, and discover how both wind and water can move soil.
Then students become Junior Conservationists, using what they've learned to design and compare ways to help keep soil in place.
Students don't just learn the words erosion, runoff, and deposition—they observe, investigate, use evidence, and solve a real-world conservation problem.
