What elements make up the soil around us? Students will investigate the basics of atomic structure and discover how scientists use a soil sample to determine soil type.
In the first lesson of this project, students identified tillage systems and …
In the first lesson of this project, students identified tillage systems and their effects on soil. This second lesson in the sequence identifies the role of cation exchange in soil fertility and examine the relationship between soil structure and cation exchange capacity.
After completing part 1 where students learned what soil texture is and …
After completing part 1 where students learned what soil texture is and how to plot the texture on the soil triangle, students will separate the individual soil particles in a lab situation and determine the % of each particle in an unknown sample and plot the sample on the soil triangle.
Students will learn how soil texture is important to agriculture. They will …
Students will learn how soil texture is important to agriculture. They will learn terms used and how to use the soil texture triangle to determine a soil's name or texture based on how much sand silt and clay are in the soil.
In this second lesson students will be introduced to different ways irrigation …
In this second lesson students will be introduced to different ways irrigation can be affected by environmental factors such as heat and soil types. This is a lab experiment that will require some prior planning and set up.
This 2 day lesson includes a review on the twelve soil orders …
This 2 day lesson includes a review on the twelve soil orders found on our planet and common soil testing procedures. Students will learn how to perform a soil ribbon test to determine the soil type, and measure the water holding capacity of a soil sample.
This final lesson in a sequence of lessons about tillage, agricultural practices …
This final lesson in a sequence of lessons about tillage, agricultural practices and soil chemistry will combine all of the unit's content into a cohesive presentation that will prepare them for their summative course assessment. Course project soil data will serve as the foundation for the presentation.

For vegetative growth and development, plants require, within reach of their roots, water of adequate quality, in appropriate quantity and at the right time. Most of the water a plant absorbs performs the function of raising dissolved nutrients from the soil to the aerial organs, from where it is released to the atmosphere by transpiration: agricultural water use is intrinsically consumptive. Crops have specific water requirements, and these vary depending on local climatic conditions. this first lesson students will be introduced to different methods of irrigation. These methods are specifically associated to vineyards, however they could be adapted to address irrigation methods that are used in your area. You will need computers and internet access for this lesson. Students will be creating digital infographics that will be used as resources in an app they will create as the culminating project.
This is the fourth lesson in a series of four. Students will …
This is the fourth lesson in a series of four. Students will create a presentation to a local agriculturalist in the form of an informational report that explains a waste management plan using compost.
