Here you will find materials to help plan and deliver lessons, both in the classroom and as an outdoor activity. Content is split up by school age. The UK Key Stage 1 (student ages 5-7) and 2 (ages 7 to 11) being grouped, as well as Key Stages 3 (ages 11 to 14) and 4 (ages 14 to 16). Soil-Net PrimarySoil-Net Primary material is in two main sections.'Digging Shallow' is primarily aimed at Key Stage 1 and takes the form of movie animations for nine key soil-related themes. 'Digging Deeper' is primarily aimed at Key Stage 2 materials and extends these movies through the addition of Activity sheets, Topic sheets, Lesson trails and Glossaries which go into more depth. Soil-Net SecondarySoil-Net Secondary also has two main sections:Key Stage Three materials are presented as a series of broad information topics. Related to these, Key Stage Four materials take the form of a series of more detailed thematic case-studies in addition to the main body of secondary work. Both Soil-Net Primary and Secondary pages contain links for teachers and parents presenting an extensive set of classroom, outdoor and extracurricular activities, as well as more general teaching resources. Each and every section ends with a short consolidating quiz. A bit of fun, but see how your students compare with the average scores from all Soil-Net users achieved when we did an audit way back in 2008!
