GLOBE - Soil Science Education - This web site contains a lot of new, exciting, fun and informative material on the soil. There is a Soil Gallery, where
you can see the Soil of the Month and read some soil stories in Once Upon a Sandy Loam. You can even sing some soil songs in Rock 'N Soil. You can also find
out about some Secrets Hidden in the Soil. Do you know how much soil there is on the earth? Do you know what soil looks like? Does it look different during the
different seasons? Does it have different shapes? Do you know what the soil does? Do you need ideas for science fair projects?

Heads or Tails, Acid or Basic: The Truth About Soil pH - The pH of soil or more precisely the pH of the soil solution is very important because soil solution carries in it nutrients such
as Nitrogen (N), Potassium (K), and Phosphorus (P) that plants need in specific amounts to grow, thrive, and fight off
diseases.

ISS EarthKAM - ISS EarthKAM (Earth Knowledge Acquired by Middle school students) is a NASA education program which enables students, teachers and the public to learn about Earth from the unique perspective of space. At the core of the program is a spectacular collection of digital images of Earth. The image collection and accompanying learning guides and activities are extraordinary resources to support classes in Earth science, space science, geography, social studies, mathematics, communications and even art.
ISS EarthKAM images are unique because they are taken by middle school students. Using the World Wide Web, select middle schools request images based upon their classroom investigations. Since the program's inception in 1996, the ISS EarthKAM camera has flown on five Space Shuttle flights and taken almost 5000 images. Currently, the camera resides on the International Space Station and has taken a variety of pictures.
