In this activity students will study the texture of soil by doing an experiment using soil samples found nearby. After learning what makes soil special and the makeup of soil, students will carry out an experiment and take note of their results.
In part two, students are introduced to endothermic animals, or “warm-blooded” animals that maintain a regular body temperature internally.
In part one of this lesson series, students are introduced to ectothermic animals, or animals that rely on external sources of heat to stay warm.
