- I can label which soil has the highest water retention based on my understanding of porosity.
- I can label which soil has the lowest water retention based on my understanding of porosity.
- I can understand the weights of different soil types and how that affects where/how they settle.
- I can describe how a force such as water can erode soil from its original place.
- I can describe different types of soil based on what makes up that soil.
- I can describe what types of plants will grow in specific types of soil based on nutrients, water retention, and other characteristics that make up soil.
1. Soil Analysis Labs
1. Soil Analysis Labs
- Analyze soil color, texture, water retention, and erodibility
- Determine the percentage of various elements in the soil
2. SOIL LABS ASSESSMENT
2. SOIL LABS ASSESSMENT
Once your group has completed ALL THREE soil labs, EACH STUDENT should visit the Discovery Google Classroom and INDEPENDENTLY complete the Soil Labs Assessment.
**You must complete and turn in this assessment before you move on to plant analysis.**
