Primary Science AG

Campus Soil and Water Survey

A survey of microscopic life in soil and water on the IGS campus is currently underway.
Students from Classes 1, 2, 3 and 4 have been collecting soil and water samples as part of their science AG.
The first results have been promising. Mr Anton Widmar and his Class 7 students have inspected the soil samples and have found them teeming with single- and multicellular organisms. The results are filmed and then viewed enthusiastically by the budding scientists from the primary section.
Some comments coming from the students were: “Wow! It’s so big!” and, “Yuck! Gross!”, but everyone agrees it’s worth digging around in the dirt to get such amazing results.
