MO DIRT attended the STEM Splash event at Meadows Elementary School in St. Louis. Students enjoyed the 'Living Soil' activity, wherein participants are given a soil sample and the tools to embark on a scavenger hunt to find a wide variety of soil organisms. This activity enhances student understanding of the soil as a 'living' ecosystem which is essential to human life and development. It also increases student appreciation for the importance of soil and the many significant organisms which call the soil home.
