Slip, sliding away – soil erosion
Soil is a vital resource, essential to our everyday lives, but its importance is often overlooked. Soils provide nutrients for plants and animals and can also act as a carbon dioxide reservoir. Millions of tonnes of topsoil from farms and forests are eroded by wind and rain each year, causing potential problems for the environment.
Would you like your school to participate in a climate change project?
This is open to ALL schools and any school taking part can also apply to present their project at The PSTT Children’s Conference which will take place at the International Primary Science Education Conference (PSEC) in Edinburgh on Friday 7th June.
