Soil Samples (Soil Texture)

This is a great kit for teaching students about soil textures. The soils samples are intended for students who are doing a texture analysis by feel and appearance. See Activity 2: Soil Textures By Feel in the lesson plan Types by Texture. The kit includes two cups of sand, two cups of silt loam, and two cups of clay. The mineral content may vary between samples but, the particle sizes are true to soil texture type.

Contextualize the soil samples with the soils lessons found on the National Agricultural Literacy Curriculum Matrix

    Excellent Product

    Posted by Alexa Shanklin on Apr 14th 2021

    I was very pleased with this product! My students were very engaged and thrilled to be touching actual soil as a science lesson. It was plenty for a class of 21 to each have a little sample, enough to even test adding water to each. The shipping time was also efficient.

    Great Samples

    My class used these soil samples to discuss soil characteristics and properties. They were great. I especially loved the clay since it is difficult to get at any local store.
