Erosion: A love song for soil

Song about erosion... and conservation. Tackling another part of the Virginia Standards of Learning Science section 3.7

Lyrics:

Weathering turns solid rock into silt and sand and clay
But erosion... Erosion...
It carries them away

Humus forms when living things die and then decay.
But erosion... Erosion...
It carries it away

Erosion takes away the soil we need to help things grow.
Soil's so good; if I could, I would never let it go.

So conservation is what we can do to help our soil to stay.
'Cause erosion... Erosion...
It carries it away...
Erosion... it carries it away.

Only a SOIL-LESS person would dislike this song. However, it is, unapologetically, dirty. Very nice educational song.

@lexinaut Yes, I thought of calling the soil songs "Dirty Songs for Kids" but instead I think I'm going with "The Soil Cycle."

I absolutely love your song. Can't wait to show it in my class. How about one on vertebrates and invertebrates.......

[bookbusband]
