Your task
Is each sentence true or false?
- Healthy soil is not just dirt. It is full of bacteria, fungi, worms and insects that break down dead plants and feed new ones. Fungal threads around roots, called mycorrhizae, carry water and minerals to the plant in exchange for sugars.
- Invented guild stories to learn from. Never try fire, hot metal, glass, blades or power tools on your own: crafts like these are learned with a trained adult.
- Every craft came from many people in many places. Nothing about you is collected.
Score
- Craft knowledge — You understood how this craft works.
- Making it well — You put the steps in a sensible order and used the right tools.
- Care for people & planet — You kept people safe and used materials wisely.
In real life
The United Nations says a third of the world's soils are already degraded. Farmers who keep soil covered, avoid heavy traffic on wet ground and add compost help it recover.

The guild stories are invented, to learn from. Fire, heat, blades and tools are only for trained adults: learn these crafts with a trained adult, never at home. Nothing about you is collected; progress stays on this device.
