The
purpose
of
this
resource
is
to
measure
the
amounts
of
nitrogen,
phosphorous
and
potassium
in
each
horizon
in
a
soil
profile.
Using
a
NPK
test
kit,
students
mix
a
dry,
sieved
soil
sample
into
a
solution
and
chemically
extract
the
N,
P,
and
K
as
nitrate,
phosphate,
and
potassium.
The
N,
P,
and
K
amounts
in
the
sample
are
determined
by
comparing
the
solution
to
a
color
chart.
Students

The purpose of this resource is to measure the pH of a soil horizon. Students mix dried and sieved soil samples with distilled water. The mixture is allowed to settle until a relatively clear layer is formed. Students use a pH pen, pH meter, or pH paper to determine the pH of the sample. The procedure is done three times for each horizon.

Elementary
GLOBE
Series.
Students
will
make
predictions
about
what
they
think
they
will
find
in
a
sample
of
soil.
They
will
investigate
the
sample
and
sort
out
the
various
items
they
find.
Next
they
will
spend
time
outside
observing
one
or
more

to
see
what
they

in
the
soil.
After

A
learning
activity
for
the
Scoop
on
Soils
book
in
the
Elementary
GLOBE
Series.
Each
student
will
explore
three
activities
that
promote
understanding
of
and
respect
for
soil.
They
will
generate
responses
to
the
following
questions:
"What
makes
up
soil?"
and
"What
lives
in
the
soil?"
Next
the
students
will
watch
a
demonstration
of
how
much
soil
there
is
on
Earth
that
is
available
for
human
use.

Each
student
will
make
predictions
about
the

Then
they
will
examine
several
types
of
soils
and
record
their

Next,
they
will
learn
about
soil
profiles
and
horizons
by
both
examining
a

and
by

book
in
the
Elementary

One
of
the
"big

in
Earth
system
science
is
the
notion
of
interaction
among
parts
of
the
Earth
system.
In
the
Elementary
GLOBE
book
All
About
Earth:
Our

the
children
in
Ms.

discuss
instances
of
how
the
four
major
spheres
of
Earth's
system
interact.

The
class
will
brainstorm,
write,
create,
and
produce
a
play
in
which
they
represent
how
all
the
Earth
systems
are
interconnected.
This
play
can
be
based
on
the
Elementary
GLOBE
book
"All
About
Earth:
Our
World
on

or
on
other
student-generated
topics
representing
interconnections
of
the
