Uncovering the Connection Between Climate Change and Soil Health
Help me give my students the climate change kit, which simulates environmental impacts, and the soil properties kit, which measures pH, moisture, and organic matter to explore climate change’s effects on soil health.

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because
it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.
My Project
My students are curious, resilient, and eager to connect science to real-world problems, especially issues like climate change. They thrive when given hands-on opportunities to explore and solve challenges, and their enthusiasm inspires me to create meaningful learning experiences. The climate change kit and soil properties kit will give them the tools they need to dive into these topics in a tangible way. With the climate change kit, they’ll conduct experiments to understand how rising temperatures and changing rainfall patterns affect ecosystems. The soil properties kit will allow them to analyze soil samples, exploring properties like pH, moisture, and organic matter to see how climate impacts soil health. These resources will help my students develop critical scientific skills such as observation, data collection, and analysis, while also deepening their understanding of the vital role soil plays in combating climate change. This project aims to help students understand the connection between climate change and soil, develop practical skills through hands-on investigations, and think critically about sustainable solutions for protecting the environment. My students are special because of their determination to make a difference. Many come from diverse and challenging backgrounds, yet they bring curiosity, energy, and creativity to the classroom. They are passionate about the environment and eager to turn their learning into action. These resources will transform our science lessons, allowing them to see the direct impact of climate change on soil and empowering them to explore solutions. By providing these tools, I hope to inspire them to grow as learners, critical thinkers, and future changemakers who understand the importance of sustainability. This project will not only teach science but also encourage environmental stewardship, showing my students that their efforts can make a real difference in creating a better future.
