Abstract	This instructional packet deals with biology, soil ecology, and specific farming practices that promote sustainable agriculture. It focuses on different types of life in the soil, the interactions that occur, and how proper tillage and nutrient management can enhance and develop beneficial soil life. The instructional materials are designed to make the important link between science and agriculture and to provide hands-on experiences that enable students to understand how the science-based subject matter included affects agriculture. Self-contained background information, activities, and visual masters are included. The individual instructional exercises can be used independently by both agriculture and science teachers or can be effectively team-taught. Unit topics include: exploring the underground community soil life, the foundation of soil health and food production, investigating the role and importance of fungi in the soil, recognizing the importance of bacteria in recycling of soil nutrients, understanding the role of more complex soil organisms, and application of the relationship between soil organisms, soil health, and plant growth.
