Think soil is just dirt we need to wash off? Think again! The soil under our feet contains Soil Superheroes — who work together to make the Earth grow green and strong. It’s a community of Soil Superheroes!
Take your students on a journey to explore the hidden world of Soil Superheroes. Through fun, hands-on activities and experiments, students explore the composition and characteristics of soil, study the soil ecosystem, and discover how our actions can help or hinder the Soil Superheroes.
