Welcome to Chemistry in the Wild

Learn soil science alongside Environmental Scientist Michael McTee of MPG Ranch in this inquiry-based soil science project. This free project is fully supported with teacher lesson plans, student resources, video instructions, and a step-by-step process for investigating local soil pH and comparing it to the study Michael McTee conducted on the MPG Ranch soil where damage was done by skeet targets. This soil science project demonstrates why chemistry is so important and helps answer the student question, "When am I ever going to use this?"
