Topic planner: Soil theme – Nutrients

This topic planner offers a suggested pathway through some of the soils resources on the Science Learning Hub. You can use it to create a personalised teaching unit.

The topic planner focuses on the following questions:

  • What are nutrients and how do they get into the soil?

  • What impact do nutrients have on the environment?

  • How can we manage nutrients to minimise environmental impacts?

The material in this worksheet can be used in any combination or order. It can also be used to help plan pre/post-activities if your class is going on a soil-themed field trip.
