Make the most of the warm weather by taking your environmental science class outside!

Join Vernier environmental science expert Colleen McDaniel as she explores four sensors that can help your students investigate the world at their feet. From identifying moisture needs for plants to comparing ecosystems and even digging into microorganisms and decomposition—these sensors can help you find new ways for students to engage in hands-on scientific study. You’ll also get a chance to see a demonstration of the new Go Direct^® Soil Moisture sensor!

You Will Learn

✔ How to design and implement engaging, hands-on soil science experiments that allow students to investigate real-world problems, such as optimizing plant growth, studying the effect of compost on soil condition, and exploring the impact of land use on soil health

✔ Strategies for integrating soil moisture, pH, CO₂, and temperature data into cross-disciplinary lessons—connecting soil science to topics in biology, chemistry, environmental science, and agriculture

✔ Why the Go Direct Soil Moisture Sensor, Go Direct Tris-Compatible Flat pH Sensor, Go Direct CO₂ Gas Sensor, and Go Direct Temperature Probe are ideal for your investigations into soil science
