The hypothesis is that the quality of soil will be affected by the use of conventional farming.

You will find three soils of the same soil type, observe soil properties, collect samples, dry them, sieve them, and test them for pH, nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium.

You will need a LaMotte Soil Testing kit, a pH pen and buffers, a Munsell soil color book, a scale, a trowel, a sieve, 100 mL beakers, 100 mL graduated cylinder, and distilled water.

Our results showed that the quality of soil was affected by the use of conventional farming. The pH levels and the levels of nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium were different in each soil. The bulk density was also different for each soil.

This science project is interesting because it shows how soil management affects soil quality in a tangible way. It also shows how different soil properties can be measured and compared.

Experiment variations to consider include testing for other soil properties such as organic matter content, earthworm activity, and soil structure. Another variation is to compare soils from different soil types.

Hey there! Here are some awesome videos about this science project that we think you'll really like. They're not only super fun, but they'll also help you learn more about the science behind the project. So sit back, relax, and get ready to have some fun!!
