This past week I have a learned a lot about soil erosion. I didn't realize the effects that it could have on things in everyday life. During the week we did a bunch of fun activities like the experiment preventing soil erosion in our rainboxes or testing our soil to see the pH. I saw many examples of soil erosion when the class walked around the school. We also looked at a construction map and planned out how to stop soil erosion. I learned a lot this week and it was a lot of fun!
