Soil Science: From Composition to Conservation

These resources are part of the Regenerative Farming suite of resources, created in collaboration with our generous values-aligned and philanthropic partners, the Macdoch Foundation and Regen Studios.

This Year 4 Science unit, Soil Science: From Composition to Conservation, has been designed to

• introduce learners to regenerative agriculture
• engage your students in scientific learning by taking on the role of soil scientists 
• investigate the importance of soil health in food chains and the water cycle
• explore the composition of soil and consider whether it is a living or non-living thing
• develop young people's understanding of the interconnectedness of organisms in our soil
• incorporate experiments, investigations, creative writing tasks and artistic activities to excite and engage learners.
