Edible Soil Layers Activity Guide

The document provides instructions for a grade 4 science project to model soil layers using various edible ingredients layered in a clear plastic cup. Students will layer chocolate and butterscotch chips on the bottom to represent bedrock, followed by chocolate pudding for the subsoil layer, crushed Oreo cookies for the topsoil layer, and gummy worms and green coconut for organic material on the surface. The activity is meant to be a fun hands-on way for students to learn about the different layers of soil and will serve as their final exam project.
