Which statements are consistent with the lesson’s approach to sensing soil?

Sensory experience can provide a valid entry point for noticing soil before formal, scientific explanation. Touch, smell, sound, colour, and temperature can make differences between soils more noticeable. Sensory observation removes the need for scientific investigation. Small differences in surface condition, vegetation cover, or moisture can change how a place is experienced. Smell is the only sensory route that contributes to soil awareness.

Which statements are most consistent with the lesson on edible earth?

Geophagy always has a single medical explanation in every cultural context. People often select particular clay-rich materials rather than consuming random soils. Natural origin automatically means a material is safe to eat. Certain clays may adsorb compounds in the gut, but they may also interfere with nutrient uptake or medicines. The lesson presents geophagy in order to encourage learners to try it.
