On this page, describe and draw the objects you see in the wet "Earth Sample # 1" soil. Do the same for objects seen in the wet "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 : WET SOIL, and your observations of EARTH SAMPLE # 2 : WET SOIL.
