In this unit students learn about basic soil science, and then explore some unique characteristics of soils found in urban areas. The materials provided here include a basic outline of the unit and a few protocols (for example, "testing porosity," and "compaction"). When this unit was used with students, it also included a variety of laboratory handouts, a PowerPoint presentation, and field trips.
