A. The Lesson
1. Introduction (5 minutes)
The materials will all be laid out for the students and ready to
start.
In the last lesson, we learned about soil and how some soils
are more permeable than others.
If you were given a few different types of soil, would crops
grow better if the soil was more permeable or less
permeable?
Today, we are going to be creating the layers of soil and
checking different types of soil for permeability.
2. Content Delivery (50 minutes)
a. The students will be split into groups of two. We will start with
the soil permeability station as a class.
b. Soil Permeability Station
i. The students will be checking the provided soils (potting
soil, fine sand, and clay) for permeability.
ii. In this station, we will be testing the permeability of
different types of soil. The first thing I want you to do is
to place the coffee filter on the neck of the water bottle.
Place the neck of the bottle into the bottle half of the
bottle. You will then place 200mL soil into the bottle. I
then want you to pour 150 mL of water onto the soil.
When water stops dripping into the bottom half of the
bottle, pour the water into the beaker and measure out
the water that made it through the soil. Record your
results on your worksheet.
c. While the water is getting soaked up by the soil, we will work
on the soil layers station.
