2018 - Elementary GLOBE Soils Module

Soils Module

Scoop the dog has gotten away again and it is up to the GLOBE Kids to find him. Along the way, they discover all the holes he has dug and the hidden world underground. In this story, students will learn about the different types of soil and the animals that live beneath their feet.

By the end of this module, students will know how to describe the different components that make up soil, discover the basics of decomposition and understand why soil is important for plants and animals.

Cover of the book “The Scoop on Soils.” Three children and a dog on steps in front of a school. One of them has a leash and is petting the large white dog. Below the names of the authors is the Elementary GLOBE logo.
