As a group, we recently conducted an experiment that investigated the porosity and permeability of different soil samples. Porosity is how much water drains through a soil. Permeability is how fast water drains through a soil.
Which soil sample (sand, topsoil, or schoolyard dirt) would you recommend to Dr. Chambers for our community garden? Why did you choose this type of soil?
Keep being AWESOME 6th Grade Scientists!

Community Gardens
1/20/2012-
In today's world, food and water are becoming more and more expensive because of the increase in population. In order to prevent a fresh food shortage (where there isn't enough food for everyone), community gardens are being established in cities.
Do you think community gardens could be successful here at MELS? Why or why not? What type of plants would you grow if we started a community garden at MELS? Before answering these questions, watch the video by clicking the link below.
