Soil Science Teacher Resources

The Soil Science Society of America (SSSA) is a professional scientific society, made up of soil scientists, educators, and consultants focused on promoting soil science, including enhancing soils topics in schools. Linked below are some of the K-12 resources they provide. For more information and other resources please visit http://www.soils4teachers.org/.

Ask a Soil Scientist Program: The Ask a Soil Scientist program has been designed for K-12 teachers, students, and anyone else with general interest soils-based questions.

State Soil Booklets: Booklets were developed and written by soil scientists to provide in-depth information on each state soil. The booklets include a brief history of how the state soil came to be, where the state soil is found, importance and uses, limitations, management, soil formation, ecoregions and land use, a glossary, and additional resources.
