This two-week long mini-unit focuses on students completing an investigation and contributing their findings to Soil Science Lab, a citizen science project. Students will collect soil samples from around their school and community, learn how to use foldscopes, complete nematode isolation, upload their data to the Soil Science Lab and pictures to Foldscope, and analyze both their data and data from the Soil Science Lab community. Their summative task will be a science poster and presentation.
