On this page, describe and draw the objects you see in the dry "Earth Sample # 1" soil. Do the same for objects seen in the dry "Earth Sample # 2" soil. For each object seen, write "A" if is Alive, "OA" if it is dead but was Once Alive, "NA" if it was Never Alive, and "DK" if you Don't Know. Show the relative sizes of the things that you see.
Record your observations of EARTH SAMPLE # 1 : DRY SOIL, and your observations of EARTH SAMPLE # 2 : DRY SOIL.
