An Early-Spring Orchard Model

In early spring, a class makes a model of a farm orchard. The apple sapling is in Sunny Row, where its roots have room in damp soil. Daylight and air reach its leaves. A robin rests in the Hedge, where it finds worms, a small puddle, air, and thick branches for shelter.

Damp soil is a little wet. What need does the wet soil meet for the apple sapling?

 

2.

  • A. The Hedge, with worms and branches
  • B. The Low Ditch, with packed soil and shade
  • C. Sunny Row, with damp soil and daylight
  • D. The dry wagon, with no soil
