Today we had a day out in the woods by our house, dad came to help us dig our hole. We we observing the different layers of soil. It was nest to see how the soil changes and the different colours. The hummus layer on top was the smallest layer. The topsoil was dark and rich. The subsoil was brown and like clay. We did not dig down far enough to get to the parent soil, but we talked about what it would look like and how when we buried Anna and we got to all the rocks that was the parent soil.

We had books we recorded our observations in including depth of the different soils. I will take a picture of this soon...
Hockey was up next
Great to see Jeff helping to dig! Nathan seems to be enjoying the "hands-on" science ;)
