At the School Radish Bed

The class watched a radish bed. Growing roots pushed soil clumps apart as they spread into damp soil. Roots take in water from soil.

Ants carried dirt out of tunnels. The ants and their young stayed inside. Adults dug holes and planted radishes. The class will eat the radishes when they are ready.

The class counted places where soil had moved. Each place was counted once.
