The purpose of this activity is for students to create a desktop soil profile based on the biome region of the United States where your school is located.
In this activity, students investigate three different soil samples with varying moisture content. They use a soil moisture probe to determine the percentage (by volume) of water in each of the soil samples.
This lesson walks students through the use of Landsat false-color imagery and identification of different land cover features using these as models.
