Jigsaw with Soil

Today we tried a new way of learning.  It is called jigsaw.  Each group got an article to read from a newspaper about soil.  Things we learned were what is in soil, how rocks become soil, soil conservation, hydroponic growing, and crop rotation.  After reading the stories each group wrote down what they learned and presented to the class.  This was much more fun than reading all of the stories by ourselves!
