A Grade 3 science slideshow on soils in the environment. Students learn what soil is, explore types of soil, discover why soil matters and learn how to care for it.

Make soil science engaging and easy to teach with this colourful Kite & Bloom resource! Students explore what soil is made of, different types of soil, why soil matters, how it supports living things, erosion, and ways we can care for healthy soil through Think-Pair-Share prompts, prediction activities, visual comparisons, and a final science activity.
Designed to lead your lessons or supplement your daily science routine, it’s perfect for whole-class instruction, centres, review, and introducing an Ontario Soils in the Environment unit.
