GLOBE's Soil Protocol Captivates Students in Oman

Professor Yusra Al-Dhawi at the Al-Thabiti Basic Education School (Oman) implemented a workshop aimed at introducing students to the theoretical and practical aspects of The GLOBE Program's Soil Protocol. During this workshop, the properties of a soil sample, such as its temperature, were discussed. Students then were trained on the practical application of the Protocol to discover these properties represented: soil structure, soil consistency and cohesion, soil color, amount of roots present, number of rocks present, amount of calcium carbonate and soil texture.

This workshop took place at the school's science laboratory, where the focus was to introduce GLOBE to female students.
