Monitoring Soil Science Project

This science education project seeks to establish innovative student-scientist partnerships through ongoing soil-based research.

Students in Western Australia will be trained in scientific methodologies, including sampling strategies, which they will use to collect a series of biological, chemical and physical soil science data. They will then upload their results onto a shared online database. The project will introduce students to the concept of soil science, and the importance of soils in the environment and to the climate change debate.

This year the project is being trialled with six schools:

• Duncraig SHS
• Gilmore College
• Newman SHS
• Newton Moore SHS
• Perth Modern School
• Shenton College
