published Jan 19, 2016 12:00amIntroducing Soils, Systems, and Society, a new teaching module that not only fills a gap in the K-8 science curriculum, but also enhances preservice teachers' content knowledge and pedagogical content knowledge about soils. This module consists of course discussions, map analysis, hands-on soil investigations, concept mapping of Earth systems, and the development of a standards-aligned K-8 Soils, Systems, and Society Kit composed of lesson plans, data sources, activities and artifacts for use in future elementary and middle school classrooms.
Developed by Professor Kathryn Baldwin, Eastern Washington University; Professor Jennifer Dechaine, Central Washington University; Professor Rodger Hauge, Eastern Washington University; and Professor Gary Varrella,Washington State University, this three to four-week teaching module promotes geoscientific and systems thinking and emphasizes strong interdisciplinary connections between science content and society through locally relevant issues.
