Digging into Soils
​Workshop

Digging into Soils - Workshop ​April 24th 9AM-4pm

Picture
We'll head outside to learn about the important role living soils play in healthy plants, better nutrition, water conservation and storing carbon.  Participants in this workshop will learn how to use soil and the compost pile, a meaningful context, as a source of investigation to engage students in Next Generation Science and Engineering Practices.
​

​
School gardens provide living laboratories for investigation-based learning. Working with soils gets kids outside and engaged in learning by doing. Teaching about soil prepares our students to better understand their world and to conserve natural resources throughout their lives. This workshop is geared for grades 2-5.

MakeSoil is founded on the belief that making soil together is one of the most transformative actions people can take, not just to regenerate the planet, but also in building resilient communities, and more connected individuals. MakeSoil is a decentralized solution to our food waste crisis, raising Soil Makers to turn the waste going to landfills into planet-saving soil instead, -and as a teacher, your impact is even more powerful. Go to MakeSoil.org to learn more, and be sure to register your classroom's garden as a Soil Making Site on the global map!
