subsuelo

Science

• The child learned about the different layers of the Earth's subsurface, including the crust, mantle, and core.
• They also discovered the various types of rocks and minerals that can be found underground.
• The child learned about the process of erosion and how it can shape the subsurface of the Earth.
• They gained an understanding of the importance of groundwater and how it is stored and accessed in the subsurface.

For continued development related to the activity, encourage the child to explore further by conducting experiments related to subsurface features. They could create their own models of the Earth's layers using different materials or investigate the effects of erosion on different types of soil. Additionally, they can research and learn about real-life examples of how humans rely on the subsurface for resources such as mining and drilling for oil.
