Understanding Soil and Natural Resources for Growing Flowers
This educational review focuses on soil properties and natural resources essential for cultivating flowers. It discusses the ideal soil type for growing flowers, including mixtures, natural decomposition, and the significance of trees, bushes, and rocks in soil formation. The review also explores various landforms such as valleys, plains, and mountains, and how they are shaped by natural disasters like earthquakes and volcanoes. Furthermore, it covers the importance of conserving natural resources such as wood and wool, offering practical conservation strategies.

Soil • What does a tree, a bush, and a rock have in common?
Soil • What does a tree, a bush, and a rock have in common? They all mix to form soil! Over many years, trees and bushes decompose, and rocks break down into smaller particles due to weathering. When they mix, they form soil.

Land changes • http://www.brainpopjr.com/science/land/fastlandchanges/ • What other natural disaster can be caused by an earthquake? • How can volcanoes change the earth?
Way too small! • Can’t show it actually erupting. • 1 dimensional, not 3D • Real volcanoes are not inside of our computers!
Natural Resources • Which of the following are natural resources? • Metal • Animals • Plastic • Wood • Bologna • A girl • http://www.brainpopjr.com/science/conservation/naturalresources/

Conserving Natural Resources • How can we conserve wool? explain • How can we conserve wood? explain
Conserving Natural Resources • How can we conserve wool? By turning it into clothing, since the material is warm and easy to bend. (Does anyone have wool in the class?) • How can we conserve wood? By turning it into furniture (like a chair), using it as firewood, paper, build tree-house, put in flower bed, etc.
Conserving Natural Resources • Talk to your family about ways that you can conserve our natural resources. • http://www.brainpopjr.com/science/conservation/reducereuserecycle/
