Soil Classification & Soil Health – Full Lesson (Year 11 Ag Science)
Format: PowerPoint + Student Tasks | Duration: 1 Lesson (50 mins)
Curriculum Link: QCAA Agricultural Science – Unit 2
Explore how soil types influence farming success in this practical, engaging lesson
This lesson introduces students to the Australian Soil Classification System (Isbell 2016) and the physical, chemical, and biological properties of soil that determine its fertility and suitability for agriculture.
Students examine real-world soil types, classify them using observable traits, and consider the impact of soil health on crop productivity — with a focus on Queensland examples like Vertosols.
What’s included:
Engaging starter activity using a soil map of Australia
Clear explanations of soil properties and classification steps
Real-life example of a Vertosol (common in QLD cropping)
Student worksheet-style activity to sort soil properties by category
Summary slide on soil management strategies
Built-in challenge quiz: “Beat the Question Grid”
Why teachers love it:
Fully curriculum-aligned (QCAA Unit 2)
Builds scientific literacy and real-world application
No additional prep required
Easily adaptable to fieldwork or garden-based follow-up lessons
Ideal for Year 11 students learning about soils, plant productivity, and sustainable agriculture.
