Nine-year-old Josh Webb has started looking at the dirt in his backyard differently.Â
âI thought dirt was just like nothing, it was just like a thing that someone just steps on,â Josh said.
That was until Josh, with his younger sister Charlie, 6, and their mum Sussanah Osborne, discovered the Soils for Science project at the World Science Festival held in Brisbane last month.
The project is an initiative of the University of Queenslandâs Institute for Molecular Bioscience, which is calling on people across the country to collect samples of soil from their backyard.
