Starting out with a glass jar, the children filled it with a layer of rocks and gravel
![Next they continuted to layer with sand, dirt and gravel](https://static.wixstatic.com/media/08e86e_a56af450454e4443b73f11b7389fe8ad~mv2_d_2557_2081_s_2.jpg/v1/fill/w_980,h_798,al_c,q_85,usm_0.66_1.00_0.01,enc_auto/08e86e_a56af450454e4443b73f11b7389fe8ad~mv2_d_2557_2081_s_2.jpg)
