Soil Science

Soil Science - What grows in the Soil?

The Science Learning Hub has a number of great resources online, this is one of them
Observing soil microbes - website how to make one
In this activity students make a soil habitat for microbes to live in, and then they can observe what kinds of microbes grow in the different conditions - aerobic and anaerobic.  This could be set up in class and observed over a long period of time, this a great opportunity for students to see what happens to colonies of microbes over time.
