Greening the curriculum: Soil Literacy Integration

1-2. Vision + interdisciplinary connections

1. Develop a school-wide vision: Hold a vision-setting workshop with teachers and students to brainstorm ideas for integrating sustainability, focusing on creating a school greenhouse as a central project. Organise a visioning workshop with teachers and students with the aim of co-creating a plan to build a school greenhouse as a flagship project for sustainability.

2. Establish interdisciplinary curriculum connections:

  • In Science, conduct soil erosion experiments and explore organic vs. inorganic soil components in classroom labs.

  • In Geography, map soil types in the local area and analyse how they have shaped local agriculture and settlement patterns.

  • In History, research and present on ancient farming techniques and their reliance on soil health, such as the three-field system in medieval Europe.
