In this environmental science activity (page 3 of the PDF), leaners will identify and explain the causes of erosion.

In this outdoor activity, learners investigate the relationship between the slope of a trail and soil erosion.

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 activity about soil (page 7 of the PDF), learners will use their sense of touch as well as sight to understand how soil is classified based on texture and other details.

In this outdoor archaeology activity, learners use mathematical skills and scientific inquiry to generate and process information from their own excavation site.

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

Discover how the salt in soil affects plant growth with a few seeds, some cotton, and salt. In this hands-on activity, you will plant seeds in 2 different kinds of soil, containing more or less salt.

In this activity, learners will examine various world data maps to combine the information and predict which areas could be tropical rainforests.

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.

In this activity (page 11 of the PDF), learners investigate how quickly water moves through various materials. They measure and compare the permeability of gravel, sand, and soil.

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 yummy activity about soil (page 9 of PDF), learners will create layers of soil using food. They will learn about the composition and role of each layer.

In this outdoor activity, learners make their own organic-rich soil. Depending on where this activity is done, learners will probably discover that their local soil is low in organic matter.

In this activity, learners use sand and ice cubes to create a model of permafrost and the effects of the ice melting through the surface.
