L'exploration des roches et du sol KS2 est une partie essentielle du programme scientifique en Angleterre. L'éducation pratique propose des activités stimulantes permettant aux étudiants d'en apprendre davantage sur l'altération, les roches perméables, les couches de sol et bien plus encore. Les élèves développent des compétences d’investigation et de résolution de problèmes grâce à des activités engageantes et collaboratives. Hands-On Education fournit une ressource utile aux enseignants et aux parents qui recherchent des moyens efficaces et amusants d’enseigner les sciences.

• Soil Observation — examine soil samples and discover what soil is made of
• Layers Of Soil — explore the different layers that make up soil
• Weathering Rocks Investigation — discover how rocks break down over time to form soil

Curriculum Alignment +
Aligned to the Year 3 Science National Curriculum. Covers rocks — comparing and grouping together different kinds of rocks on the basis of their appearance and simple physical properties, describing in simple terms how fossils are formed when things that have lived are trapped within rock, and recognising that soils are made from rocks and organic matter. Develops classification and comparison skills through hands-on testing and investigation. Cross-curricular links to Maths (Year 3 — measuring and recording data, comparing results) and outdoor learning (local geology exploration and soil sampling).
Teaching Tips +
Investigating The Hardness Of Rocks works brilliantly as a fair test using the Mohs scale as a reference — children scratch rocks with a fingernail, copper coin, and steel nail to determine hardness. Collect a variety of rock samples in advance (granite, sandstone, limestone, slate, chalk) for the best range of results. Investigating Permeable Rocks is visually satisfying — pour the same amount of water onto different rock samples over a funnel and measure how much passes through. Weathering Rocks Investigation pairs naturally with the Year 3 Fossils + History Timeline Notebook for a complete rocks, soils, and fossils unit. Soil Observation works best with samples from different locations — school garden, a park, and a building site give strikingly different results.
