Unearthing Soil's Living Ecosystem

These resources are part of the Regenerative Farming suite of resources, created in collaboration with our generous values-aligned and philanthropic partners, the Macdoch Foundation and Regen Studios.

This Year 3 Science unit, Unearthing Soil’s Living Ecosystem, has been designed to

• introduce learners to regenerative agriculture
• engage your students in scientific learning by taking on the role of regenerative growers
• help learners understand some of the things soil needs to be healthy and strong
• identify the differences between living and non-living things and understand that soil contains many living things
• explore the role of decomposers in a soil ecosystem
• incorporate experiments, plant growing activities, poster making and artistic activities to excite and engage learners.
