ABSTRACT INFORMATION
'The 4Rs of Nutrient Stewardship'

Scientists estimate the Earth will hold 9 billion people by 2050. How will we feed growing population sustainably? The answer is soil nutrients. This workshop includes the premiere of the 4R activity book for third and fourth grade, a new middle school lesson plan on the 4Rs, and the high school environmental science resource. The workshop includes hands-on activities about soil science that teachers can replicate in their classrooms, such as the nutrient word scramble. By the end of the workshop, educators will be equipped with materials, activities, and resources to take their soil science unit to the next level!
