1. Grade 2 - Soils

2. Why is soil important?

• It grows our food: The soil has nutrients that are
healthy for plants to grow.
• It filters water: When it rains, soil acts like a sponge,
soaking up the water. It also filters out any yucky
stuff, like pollution, so that the water becomes
cleaner before it goes into rivers and streams.
• Supports Animals: Lots of animals, like worms, bugs,
live in the soil. They help break down old leaves and
other things, making the soil healthier for plants to
grow in.
• So, you see, soil isn't just dirt under our feet. It's like a
magical treasure chest full of life and wonders that
helps our planet and everything on it stay happy and
healthy!
