 Hi Scientists;

Some social studies tie-ins today as we look more deeply at soil and the living ecosystem healthy soil contains.
We gave a very brief background on "The Grapes of Wrath" (which you'll read in high school) and the farming practices that denuded the soil of healthy microorganisms and biodiversity and how California may be setting itself up for the same scenario.
Also, this will lay more groundwork for understanding "The Martian" and our next unit on cells.

Have a wonderful Tuesday!
