What is Rock and dirt?

Rock and dirt are things we find on the ground, just like sand at the beach or leaves in a park.

Rock is like a hard, strong block that doesn’t break easily. It feels rough when you touch it, kind of like the bottom of your shoe when it’s worn out. You can find rocks under your feet when you’re walking outside, and sometimes they are big enough to sit on or even climb!

Dirt is like tiny pieces of rock, plants, and other stuff that have broken down over time. It feels soft and crumbly in your hand, kind of like the soil you dig up when you plant a flower in your garden. Dirt helps plants grow because it holds water and nutrients.

When you walk on the ground or dig around, you might find both rock and dirt working together, just like how blocks and sand make a fun playground!
