SOILS
Soils are precious natural resources that affect every part of the
ecosystem. Soils hold water and nutrients for plants and ultimately
animals. All the food we eat and the natural materials we use, such as
paper, wood and clothing, depend on soils. It is important to understand
soil and its role in the ecosystem and in agriculture.
Students will investigate soils and learn about soil texture, soil water-holding capacity, and other properties of soils.
Students will be able to:
1. Develop an understanding of how water flows through soils and how the water changes as it goes through.
2. Utilize the scientific method; ie, ask questions, develop and test hypotheses, observe and analyze results, and draw conclusions.
3. Work together in small groups and share findings with classmates.
4. Analyze a soil to determine its texture.
