There's a lot you can do with dirt and a lot to discover!
Think that the dirt beneath your feet is boring? Wrong! There's more to just dirt than, well, dirt. In fact, don't call it dirt to a scientist - it's soil! Soil can tell you a lot about where you live and what's going on behind - or beneath - the scenes. Learn how to make a Berlese funnel that brings out tiny, normally unseen bugs in soil; learn the differences between various soils; even change a blue hydrangea to a pink one! Is it magic? Nope... it's science!
With the enthusiasm and fun typical of the authors' many science books, kids will learn all the fun things you can do with dirt, all the while learning about the ground beneath our feet.
