In this environmental education demonstration (page 6 of the PDF), learners will see a tangible representation of the scarcity of soil resources on earth.

In this environmental science activity, learners research what is essential for plant life and the necessary components of soil to support plants.

In this activity, learners explore the different heating properties of soil and water.

In this activity, learners model erosion using a clear shoebox and sand or soil.

In this sunny day experiment, learners measure and compare how quickly light and dark colored materials absorb heat.

This activity demonstrates liquefaction, the process by which some soils lose their solidity during an earthquake.

This activity models some of the ways natural processes, such as erosion and sediment pollution, affect Earth’s landscape.

In this activity, learners investigate soil erosion. Learners set up a simulation to observe how water can change the land and move nutrients from one place to another.

In this activity, learners investigate soil conditions by creating a soil map. Learners record soil characteristics and compare the conditions of soil in different grid sections.

In this activity, learners examine the different materials gardeners add to their soil, and discuss how these materials are important for plant growth.

In this geology activity (page 6 of the PDF), learners explore how carbonic acid can slowly dissolve limestone and form caves.

In this activity, learners will test cups full of potting soil, sand, and sphagnum moss to see which earth material is able to soak up the most water.

In this activity (page 1 of the PDF under SciGirls Activity: Bogs), learners will test cups full of potting soil, sand, and sphagnum moss to see which earth material is able to soak up the most water.
