Mickelson Middle School 6th grade science classes had a wonderful learning experience provided by some of our local conservationists! The Natural Resources Conservation Service visited our school and presented the Rainwater Erosion Simulator to the students. The simulator demonstrated the effects of rainwater on the erosion of different soil types and vegetation. Additionally, the students viewed the "Soil Your Undies" experiment the NCRS did, which compared the biological health of soil on pairs of cotton underwear. We really enjoyed these hands-on learning opportunities in which our students were able to participate.
