 * Lesson Title:** Getting Down and Dirty with Soil
 * Topic:** Geology
 * Subtopic:** Soil
 * Question 1:** 6th grade
 * Question 2 :** Objective 3.05 Analyze soil properties that can be observed and measured to predict soil quality including: * Color. * Horizon profile. * Infiltration. * Soil temperature. * Structure. * Consistency. * Texture. * Particle size. * pH. * Fertility. * Soil moisture.
 * Question 3:** The lesson objective is very clearly stated. I wouldn't change it.
 * Question 4:** One of the things I really like about this lesson is that the directions throughout the lab are very clearly stated and detailed.
 * Question 5:** Critical thinking is employed in the questions. Students are asked to compare and contrast, predict, synthesize what they have found out and make informed decisions about hypothetical situations. Very rigorous lesson.
 * Question 6:** I can't think of anything additional I would ask the kids. The author of this lesson came up with some very unique questions.
 * Question 7:** This lesson would take some time in preparation, but it is designed to take the kids through various steps. The directions throughout the lesson will keep the students on task and decrease any management issues.
 * Question 8:** I like the rigor of the lesson. I think the activities are interesting and will help the kids really learn the content well. I especially like the assessment/conclusion questions. I also like the fact that the lesson requires students to create a graph of their data.
 * Question 9:** Nothing.
 * Question 11:** I like the lesson exactly as it is.
 * Rating:** 10
