KND – Soil Quest

Question

Know, Need, Do

Now that we've had some experience with soil, let's consider these three questions.

What do we KNOW about the soil around us and its relationship with living things, nonliving parts, the atmosphere, and our changing climate?

What do we NEED to know to restore the health of the soil around us, and to understand its relationship with living things, nonliving parts, the atmosphere, and our changing climate?

What might we DO to restore the health of our local soil so it can help slow climate change?

Questions to Consider

Think about your observations and personal experiences.

Brainstorm a group or individual list for K, N, and D.

K: What do you already KNOW from your observations, experiences, and background knowledge?

N: What do you NEED to know to be able to effectively help restore the health of your local soil? (Answer with open-ended questions starting with who, what, when, where, how, or what if.)

D: What could you DO to help restore the health of your local soil?
