Soil Is Alive!

Jessie and Squeaks make a new friend named Grady, and he teaches them about all the living things you can find in soil!

Disciplinary Core Idea:
LS4.D: Biodiversity and Humans - There are many different kinds of living things in any area, and they exist in different places on land and in water (2-LS4-1).

Performance Expectation:
2-LS4-1. Make observations of plants and animals to compare the diversity of life in different habitats.
