Grades K – 6 — Soil materials: lesson plans, activities
Grades K – 8 — A five-year rotation for stewardship topics – water, soil, habitat, forestry, and a topic of interest (the highest grade level says grade 6 and above)
Grades K – 12 — Underground Adventure exhibit at the museum until December 31, 2020. Get a bug’s-eye view of the world when you magically “shrink” to 1/100th of your actual size—smaller than a penny—to explore an immersive environment of worm tunnels and soil chambers. This exhibition reveals soil to be home to an incredible diversity of living things, and shows how not a single plant or animal could survive without it. After regaining your regular size, become a soil scientist to investigate how life above ground connects to life below.
The Conference on Connections Between Soil Health and Human Health report includes recommendations for better understanding soil health – human health relationships.
