Y3 trip to Hampstead Heath

Soil Investigation

Y3 travelled to Hampstead Heath to undertake

investigations on different types of soil.

We were met by Suzy and Julie from the

Hampstead Heath Project.

Our workshop began underneath the beautiful

bandstand on the heath.

We walked around the

heath looking at all the

different types of soil.

We took samples and

analysed them.

As we looked at each

soil type, we had to

test if they were

permeable or

impermeable.

As the final part of the investigation,

we added a little of each soil type to

a small jar of water and gave it a

good shake!

Hampstead Heath is a stunning natural

environment and a perfect place to investigate

rocks and soils.

Below are some extra photos of our lovely day.
