Vermont science

This week, the students observed different types of soil found in Vermont.  The students were encouraged to act like scientists and use their senses to describe it (tasting was not allowed).  Then, the students were challenged to figure out what type of farming might occur on that soil.  Ask your child to explain what we learned about soil used for farming vegetables, corn and barley.  Also ask your child to explain what we learned about the soil used for hay, maple trees and dairy farms.
