Down And Dirty: Teachers Learn About Soil
July 8, 2015
The University of Florida IFAS Soil Science Department offered a one-day, Teach the Teacher International Year of Soil Workshop for educators Tuesday at the West Florida Research and Education Center in Jay.
Teachers were able to learn about soils and how to relate the information back to their students. The workshop covered topics including Soils and Civilizations, What is a Soil, Water Retention and Movement in Soil, Soil is Living, and Soil Protects the Environment.
