Students explore how soil supports life and cycles nutrients through plants and decomposers, then connect these ideas to real-world issues by analyzing local soil and considering access to healthy soil.
Inquire: Students explore why soil matters for growing food.
Investigate: Students learn how matter cycles through soil and create a model that shows how organisms recycle nutrients.
Inspire: Students analyze soil samples, make evidence-based predictions about soil health, and connect their findings to real-world social and environmental justice issues.
