Kavi's Ground Detective Dig
Kavi crouches down with a little spade 🔍. "Look what I found in the ground!" One stone is hard and rough 🪨. One pebble is smooth — water rubbed it shiny by the river. And this dark crumbly stuff is soil — tiny broken bits of rock mixed with old leaves 🍂. "Rocks and soil both come from the land," says Kavi. "Let's sort them out!"
