Soil Health and Conservation

Dear students,

 

you will work according to this webquest.

 

As you already know,  soil is a fundamental element in agriculture, vital for supporting crop growth, managing water and cycling nutrients. Despite its crucial role in farming, soil often suffers from neglect and degradation due to various agricultural practices. Through this activity you will explore soil health and conservation in the context of agriculture, and learn how to protect and enhance soil to ensure sustainable farming for future generations.

 

You will be assigned to expert groups to research specific topics on soil health and conservation. Once you have gathered your information, you will join jigsaw groups to share your findings and create informative materials for a soil health and conservation awareness campaign for your school community.

​
