Understanding Soil, Rocks, and Plant Interactions in Your Environment

This STEM unit focuses on students' understanding of soil and its essential role in plant growth. Learners will explore the basic properties of rocks, the formation of soils, and how soil supports plant needs. They will observe soil components and their relationship with plant growth and learn about the effects of erosion on soil integrity. This unit fosters scientific inquiry, encouraging students to make observations, predictions, and conduct simple investigations while posing critical questions about soil conservation and restoration.

  1. Plants and Soil A STEM unit

  2. Science Core Objective • STANDARD III: Students will understand the basic properties of rocks, the processes involved in the formation of soils, and the needs of plants provided by soil. Objective 3: Observe the basic components of soil and relate the components to plant growth. d. Explain how plants may help control the erosion of soil.

  3. Science ILOs 1. Use Science Process and Thinking Skills • Observe simple objects and patterns and report their observations. • Make simple predictions and inferences based upon observations. • Compare things and events. • Conduct a simple investigation when given directions. • Use observations to construct a reasonable explanation.

  4. Engineering/Technology • Soil Engineer • Geotechnical Engineer
