Exploring the world beneath our feet can lead to many exciting adventures.

Beneath our feet there are microscopic worlds waiting to be discovered. Learners can explore the characteristics of the soil to learn a lot about the past and to determine the overall structure of the system below the surface of the ground. Looking for organisms in the soil can tell one a lot about the fertility of the soil and whether or not it can support healthy plant life.
