The Sensing Soil Do It Kit is now available for pre-order! Shipping in 4-6 weeks.
The Sensing Soil Do It Kit will get your class growing by making a plant experiment station that measures humidity, temperature, soil moisture and light levels. Your students will investigate the world of plants, practice working scientifically, get hands-on with plants and electronics, and learn about sensors, micro computing and data visualisation.
The Sensing Soil Do It Kit includes over three hours of lesson plans with worksheets, diagrams, teacher notes and curriculum links. Our teaching resources are written by a team of scientists, geographers and award-winning educational authors.
In addition to the core lesson plans, the Sensing Soil Do It Kit includes ideas for complementary lessons in KS3 Computing and KS3 Geography classes. The code is pre-loaded onto the board so you can simply plug and play, or can get your class using their coding skills to add things and make changes in the Arduino IDE.
