Soil composition: Then and now
Students will identify the location of the school from the 1926 digitized Soil Sample map using landforms that remain the same and distance scale, determine the type of soil identified during that time, and compare with the types of soil currently found near the school. The comparison should allow the children to determine if the soil content has changed extensively. This plan was developed for use in Nash County, but it is expandable to any county.
Format: lesson plan (grade 3 Science and Social Studies)
