I've learned the different types of soil and the things that can be built on it and grown on it. I've also learned a lot about soil erosion and how it effect our environment. We spent time inside the outside the class room doing labs and experimenting with things that deals with soil. I learned that using hay or straw is one of the best and cheapest ways to pervent soil erosion.
Learning about soil erosion prevention is important because it helps us keep the environment cleaner. Also, to have safer drinking water and clearner for the fishes to live in.
The pH test helped me learn that plants can grow in a certain amount of acidic soils.
