MODIFIED CORONA VIRUS PROJECT: PDF Version
Using images taken from field studies on the last day before Corona (please share your images with each other)
DO YOUR BEST
Determine the layers/horizons https://drthorntonscourses.webs.com/pbsc-est-unit-two-soil. (#1 under Activities)
Determine the minerals in the layers (by color) (#2 Activities)
Go to Web Soil Survey and Screen shot your area then determine which soil you have based on depth, thickness, and types of horizons as well as thickness of horizons.
-two soils from school & one from home.
PROJECT SHOULD LOOK LIKE THIS:

Both sites, school and home
Use examples sent on Remind
METHODS
How did you determine your soils.
BE SPECIFIC
RESULTS
Images of your soils & Images of Web Soil Survey
DISCUSSION
