Physics with trees, Period 1, 10 Dec '08
"I'm sure you already know we're nearing the end of the semester," Mohinder started, brushing away a last few pieces of tinsel. "Today, we're looking at pedology, or soil science. As well as hopefully avoiding jokes about the topic being as clear as mud."
"More than just ground up rocks, soil is - or can be - a thriving enviroment of micro-organisms. A mixture of air, water, minerals and decayed animal and plant life; this thin outer layer surrounds this planet, vital to our lives." Passing out handouts Mohinder continued to describe soil types and surveying. "Plants thrive and perish according to the quality of the soil. Which would survive better here or which at home?"
"Colour is often an effect of chemical composition and moisture. You each have a soil samples at your desks, as well as instuctions on drying and making crayons from them. You should be able to create a variety of colours."
[OCD is up!]
