Roots of Life: Exploring Soil and its Sustainability

Area involved: Science Culture 4th ESO

Objective: The aim of this activity is to make our students at Colegio Santo Domingo Savio - Salesianos Úbeda in Spain aware of the importance of soil as a vital resource, the problems of its degradation and sustainable solutions by carrying out a project that starts with research and the creation of an audiovisual report in which each of the points worked on and researched previously are presented, culminating in the construction of a mini garden in the centre, where they will analyse the growth of each of the plants according to the type of irrigation, compost and use of fertilisers. An observation diary will be kept.

The project will end at the end of the school year, when we hope to obtain results and be able to analyse the growth of each of the plants in a more rigorous way.
