Soil Explorers – Jam Jar Experiment

Shake it- shake it all about! Come show us your moves in the name of science! Come shake jars of dirt to solve the puzzle of why soils behave differently in different places. This experiment will introduce all the things soil is made of and how they behave in water. Soil is made up of lots of building blocks that do lots of things… can you guess what will happen?
