This comparative study examined the impact of soil type on relative humidity across four schools in Israel, conducting a year-long collaborative research project. Soil plays a crucial role in water retention, infiltration, and evaporation, directly influencing agriculture, ecological stability, and water resource management. Different soil types have varying capacities to retain moisture, affecting local humidity levels and environmental conditions. To explore these variations, students followed the SMAP protocol, conducting research under identical conditions on the same days each week. They participated in cultural learning sessions, studying Arabic and Hebrew, and later reconvened to exchange data and draw conclusions. Understanding these soil-related differences is essential for sustainable water management and efficient land use planning, particularly in diverse climatic regions like Israel.
