Soil testing

• Students examined different types of soil around the school and identified the soil type through a flow chart.

Soil Erosion using Modeling Clay

• For our soil erosion lesson, students created a landscape using modeling clay with room for soil. We then used a straw to blow onto the soil to represent wind erosion and sprayed water to represent water erosion.

Planting Workshop at Woordwards (Grade 2/3)

• Students planted their own seedlings as they learn about the importance of soil in our environment.

Farm to Fork Workshop at Woodwards

• Students had the opportunity to create their own feast using foods that were harvested from the McMath Community garden. Not only did they learn how to cook with local produce, but they also learned about the nutritional values of non-processed food.
