Sand, Silt or Clay

Today while weeding and watering, we found a squash bug and a spotted cucumber beetle. This is what they look like. We squished the bugs we found in our garden!

The young gardeners looked at diffrent types of soil to see the diffrence in soil texture and particle size. They did an experiment with soil. They took diffrent types of soil and put them in a bottle with detergent and water and shook it. They will leave it undisturbed for a few days then check to see if the layers seperated.
