  1. Agastyaacademy A Glimpse through the 3-Day Mud Building Block Workshop Presents…..

  2. Soil Exploration • Ms. Meenakshi tasked students with drawing rough drafts of their houses. • Using unconventional units like handspan, cubit, foot span, and fingers. • Next, students were split into groups, and went to three different locations around the campus, digging 1-foot pits. • Each team collected bottom and top layer soil from the pits, meticulously labelling them as instructed.

  3. Soil Exploration • Ms. Meenakshimam asked students to place about 5cm of soil into 10cm jars, filling them with water. • After shaking the mixture, they left them undisturbed. • The next task involved feeling each type of soil to separate the best one for building purposes.

  4. Art of mud balls • Students engaged in creating mud balls with each type of soil, allowing them to dry. • Towards the end of the day, we experimented with preparing balls using bottom soils from different pits in various proportions, labelling them, and setting them aside for sun drying.

  5. Soil layers • Gravel, • Coarse sand, • Fine sand, • Silt, • Clay, • humus.
