The Dirt on Soil VideosThese videos were created to teach students about soil basics in a fun and interactive manner. They are focused on Grade 7 curriculum. In our research, we found that many videos available on soil science had adult presenters and didn’t speak to youth in their own language. The Dirt on Soil videos use youth hosts - all pursuing careers related to the soil including agriculture, ranching and land development. |

This series was developed in partnership with Alberta Agriculture & Rural Development.
The videos should be seen in order. There will be 4 in the series this year and hopefully more in the near future.
Worksheets with take home or in-class exercises and activities are provided. You are free to make copies of these sheets.
Maybe put this on the side as a poster by the relevant text and link it the videos and worksheets in the kid’s video library section.
Soilquest – An in class land debate
When your class is well versed in topics like land development you could lead them in a class debate on the subject using the roles and land set out at www.soilquest.ca.
For more information on the Dirt on Soil Series, please review the Teacher’s Guide for this program in the Document Library.
