The lower school has been learning about the layers of soil. They include bedrock, parental material, subsoil, topsoil, and humus. As an extension of learning, we completed a Science Lab where we created Edible Soil. The bedrock layer was a solid shortbread cookie. The parent material was crumbled shortbread cookie, For the subsoil, we used vanilla pudding. Next, we used chocolate pudding with mini chocolate chips for the topsoil. We added a few gummy worms to represent real worms in this layer. For the humus, we used chocolate pudding and crumbled Oreos. Lastly, for the green grass, we dyed coconut flakes with green food coloring.
