Science Core Objective
• STANDARD III: Students will understand the basic properties of rocks, the processes involved in the formation of soils, and the needs of plants provided by soil.
Objective 3: Observe the basic components of soil and relate the components to plant growth.
d. Explain how plants may help control the erosion of soil.
