Description:
Students from all over the world are participating in the Global Learning and Observations to Benefit the Environment (GLOBE) program by taking daily environmental measurements at their schools and sharing their data via the Internet. GLOBE environmental measurements are in the following study areas: Atmosphere/Climate; Hydrology/Water Chemistry; and Biology/Geology. This Web page is designed to provide a resource about Soil Science for K-12 students and teachers, and to supplement the soils information in the GLOBE Teacher's Guide. It includes basic concepts, stories, songs, photographs, learning activities, references, links to related Web pages, and other features related to Soil Science.
