Soil

Ready to get your hands dirty? Let Tim and Moby introduce you to the complicated world of soil! In this BrainPOP movie you’ll learn what it is that makes soil good for growing things. Tim and Moby will teach you about the difference between weathering and erosion; how dead plants help other plants grow; and how roots can actually break up rock. Discover what goes into a soil profile and learn how to name soil’s three main layers. Finally, you’ll find out what happens when you hit bedrock. (It probably means you’re done digging!)
