People and Care
Step three: People and Care. People dig tunnels, mines, and wells, and scientists use clever tools to explore below. If we take care of the ground, it will keep supporting us and all life.

Let's take a closer look! Soil makes layers. Water seeps through. Fungi link roots. Creatures keep it alive.
Quick Facts
Quick facts! What happens underground affects what grows above it. Clever tools help us explore underground. Caring for the soil helps all living things. Every step you take is on top of a hidden world.
Think Like a Scientist
Now, think like a scientist! Draw a side view of the ground. Add layers of soil and rock. Include at least five things you learned about. Label each one. Share your drawing with a friend.
