Through hands-on applications like soil testing, students check the pH of soil and learn to determine its texture. Students also make recommendations for fertilizer applications as they discover what conditions are necessary for growth to occur. After all, it takes an informed farmer to produce a plentiful crop. Students recognize regional differences in soil as well as identifying various agricultural and nonagricultural uses of soil. Meanwhile, students assess their own area’s involvement through daily journal writings. Once they have established a basis of knowledge, students identify alternative methods to traditional soil-based growing techniques. Students can test soil for secondary nutrients, determine slope, analyze soil samples, or explore careers in the field of soil science.
