A two-day seminar will be hosted by the instructor. The first day will be an introductory lecture describing the background of soil science and the second day will be a hands-on activity where students will analyze the texture and chemistry of soil samples from home and compare that data to the texture and chemistry of a degraded soil sample from an agricultural area. The guiding questions for this activity are “Why does soil health matter?” and “How does the health of a soil impact its diversity, soil texture, and chemical makeup?”.
