We teamed up with Kiss the Ground to develop a middle school curriculum that allows students to understand the vital role soil plays on our planet. The 5-lesson curriculum, written to serve as supplemental material for the Next Generation Science Standards, teaches about the carbon cycle, photosynthesis, soil science, various agricultural practices, and concludes with a regenerative soil-based project. Student-facing slides and handouts are included. The curriculum is available in English and Spanish, and there is also an Australian edition.
