Soil Mini-Quiz Review

Tomorrow we will be having our first assessment of the year. It will be a low-pressure mini-quiz where you can use your notes and any handouts.

Here are some questions you should be able to answer for the quiz.

What does soil fertility mean and why is it important?

How does temperature affect vegetable growth? What temperature is best?

What pH is best for soil?

What are the main particle sizes?

What does looking under a microscope tell us about soil?

And some skills you should be able to do:

Calculate soil composition using the soil triangle.

Calculate soil percentages with given depths.

Make and interpret simple column graphs.

Make and interpret simple pie charts.

Here is a photo of the process for calculating percentages that we went over in class today.
