Step 2: Choosing Your Community Soil Study Site
The first thing to do to get started on your community soil study is to
choose a study site.
Think about your neighborhood. Think about places in your neighborhood
that interest you.
(Screen might be divided here into many smaller visuals of these different
examples listed below.)
Your soil study site might be a field across from your school...(visual)
a city park...(visual)
a grassy area near the train tracks...(visual)
or even a vacant lot on the corner...(visual)
(Zoom in on small section of vacant lot to see small creatures scurrying
around above and below ground; sort of cross section view)
That "vacant" lot on the corner might not be so vacant after all.
It could be full of interesting plants, insects ... and who knows what
lies underground!
We have prepared a checklist
to help your group decide on a good site
(Click here for field study checklist, print out a copy, and head out
the door!)
Site Registration and Description Form
(Visually this looks like a formal certificate, something the groups might
want to download and hang on the wall.)
