Soil Profile-

Objective: To understand the soil profile.Outcome: ALL:. will be able to identify and draw the soil profile. Most: will be able to describe the soil profile Few: describe and compare different layers of soil

Starter: Run your finger down your face, from your head, down your nose, across your mouth to your chin and neck. This is your profile. Soil has a profile too.

Main Activity: Flip the video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ysIm7ImsK6cImagine you are sitting on the groung covered with grass. What is below the grass? Let the students answer. Teacher shows on the white board that below the grass is topsoil’ (rich and dark with rotting vegetation) below ‘grass’. Ask What is below the topsoil? Write ‘subsoil’ (tightly packed, different colour). Continue down with ‘rocky soil’ (rocks breaking down into soil) then ‘bedrock’ (just rock). This is called as the soil profile.

Task 1 Draw and label the soil profile

Task 2 Draw and describe each layer

Top soil:

Task 3 Draw describe and compare the different layers

Ext : Why do plants grow only in the in the topsoil? Research using BYOD

PLENARY (10 MINS): Complete the following using words given below.

) Topsoil is dark . and full of Rotting plants …

Reflection

I can draw and label soil profile.

I can describe layers of soil profile..

I can compare different layers of soil

2) Subsoil is …light……………. coloured and … less fertile ……

3) Rocky Soil has pieces of rocks that are breaking down and is starting to become soil.

4) Bedrock is solid

-Rock - Light - Dark - Solid - Rotting plants - less fertile
