Some considerations on the soil study in elementary and secondary school science education

Abstract

Children and pupils have little interest in soil. There are some probrems in the soil study: (1) soil education is negative, (2) the basic natures and functions of soil are hard to teach, (3) only few teachers understand about soil, (4) no teaching guide for the observations and experiments on soil are available.

In this report, I proposed a tentative curriculum for teaching in elementary and secondary school science and discussed on the soil education.
