SOIL ANALYSIS KIT

Students gain hands on experience identifying, characterizing, and describing Earth Materials through seven different experiments determining texture, composition, particle size range, density, permeability, porosity, and pH. They learn how soils are formed, assess properties important in determining agricultural and commercial use, and discover characteristics important in assessing soil drainage, erosion, and fertility. The kit includes loam, silt, clay, sandy soil, topsoil, fine sand, coarse sand, and gravel so that classic comparisons may be made. Includes sieve sets and all required supplies for testing, complete instructor’s manual with worksheets, assessment materials, and answer keys. Packaged in a reusable plastic tote. Balance recommended. Grades 7-12
