I have them cover the outsides with white paper and they paint a soil monolith on the inside by mixing paint and using a little detail for structures. On the outside they make 3D cutouts for soil structure on one side. The other side could be any other part that you want to include like the water cycle or different soil components. I then hang these from the walls so they can show off their work. The whole objective for the students is to be able to identify the different soil horizons by the general soil textures or structures that can be found in that horizon. ]]> 2019-07-31 19:38:23 UTC https://padlet.com/kasey_naylor/z4mtecxdi6oo/wish/372853263 https://padlet.com/kasey_naylor/z4mtecxdi6oo/wish/372853794 Build a simple pvc pipe system.
