Digging Into Discovery - Soil Science Explore Boxes Inspire Students

Today’s students are tomorrow’s stewards of the land

Understanding the science beneath our feet is key to agriculture. That’s why Nutrients for Life is rolling out its Soil Science Explore Boxes for the new school year, just in time to celebrate Global Fertilizer Day on October 13.

These dynamic classroom kits are designed for Grades 7–12 and include everything educators need to bring soil and plant science to life. Each box is filled with hands-on activities, real soil samples, and engaging educational resources that help students explore the vital role of nutrients in plant growth and food production.

The goal? To spark curiosity, foster discovery, and build a deeper understanding of the science that supports agriculture.

These boxes are a fantastic way to connect students with the science behind the food they eat and the soil it grows in. The goal is to inspire the next generation of growers, scientists, and environmental leaders.
