Activity: 1. Dry Soil Investigation
What we learned:
• Soils differ in their composition.
• Soils contain organic and inorganic particles of varying size.
• Soils contain microorganisms that cannot be seen but are critical to plant growth.
• Visual inspection cannot fully evaluate the nutrient content of soils.

Activity: 2. Soil and Air Space
What we learned:
•Soils differ in the amounts of air space that they contain.
•Average soils that support crops consist of nearly 50 percent air space.
•The air space in soil can be occupied by either air or water.
•Soils need both air space and water to support a plant’s root system.
•Plant roots absorb nutrients from the soil water.

What properties of soil are important to plant growth?
• Firm enough to support plant’s root system
• Contains essential plant nutrients
• Contains adequate amounts of organic material and clay
• Contains about 50 percent air space
• Allows water to infiltrate and percolate through it
