Soil Organism Study

kit #33

Students use simple, reusable apparatus to extract and collect organisms from soil samples. Plant health, soil fertility and soil development depend on these organisms in many ways. Soils contain organisms that perform activities such as decomposing organic matter, transforming nitrogen, building soil tilth, and producing antibiotics.
This kit serves as a valuable companion to Lab-Aids kits 32 - Biology and Chemistry of Soil and 34 - Nematode Study.
Soil samples or magnifying devices are not provided.
