George Washington Carver (b. 1864)

SOIL CONDITIONS

The Science Behind the Fun

AN EARLY ENVIRONMENTALIST

George Washington Carver was an artist, a botanist, an inventor, and an educator. He was interested in the ecology of farming, and his methods of crop rotation improved the health of the land, making him an early environmentalist. His hard life inspired him to want to help others. He once said, “It is not the style of clothes one wears, neither the kind of automobile one drives nor the amount of money one has in the bank that counts. These mean nothing. It is simply service that measures success.”

SOIL CONDITIONS

Grow beans under different soil conditions.

THE SCIENCE BEHIND THE FUN

George Washington Carver understood that certain crops, such as peanuts, improve the soil for other crops that are planted later in the same fields. In addition to crop rotation, George suggested that farmers test their soil and water and adjust nutrients and soil acidity. In this lab, you test how well the beans grow under different soil conditions. Adding vinegar, lemon peel, or peat moss makes soil more acidic, while adding baking soda makes it less acidic. It is easier for water to move through sandy soil, but nutrients can be washed away more easily.

WATER CLARITY

THE SCIENCE BEHIND THE FUN

A NATURE LOVER

Rachel Carson always wanted to be a writer and published her first article for a children’s magazine when she was eleven. Born in Springdale, Pennsylvania, in 1907, she loved reading and exploring nature. The fields and woods near her house were filled with birds and other animals, although on some days, everything was coated with gray ash from steel mills that stood downriver from where she lived. Her family struggled to pay the bills and Rachel’s mother, Marie, gave piano lessons to help support Rachel and her two siblings.

WATER CLARITY

Make a Secchi disk to test water clarity in a pond, lake, or reservoir.

THE SCIENCE BEHIND THE FUN

The Secchi disk was invented in 1865 by Angelo Secchi to measure the transparency or turbidity (cloudiness) of water in the Mediterranean Sea. Although the first Secchi disks were white, black-and-white Secchi disks are now standard tools for limnology, which is the study of inland aquatic ecosystems. Ecologists, wildlife biologists, and citizen scientists use Secchi disks to monitor the health of bodies of water around the world.

EROSION

THE SCIENCE BEHIND THE FUN

THE MIYAWAKI METHOD

Akira visited the forests near trees and temples. Through extensive research, he came up for a method for growing new forests much more quickly than they would grow in the wild. His forest-growing technique was called the “Miyawaki Method.” Using this method, a potential forest site is surveyed and the soil is tested. Native seeds are identified, collected, and germinated in a nursery, where the seedlings are pampered until they get strong. Eventually, the seedlings are moved to the area where the forest will be planted and allowed to get used to the new conditions. Finally, the trees are planted close together. Seeds from the new forest are collected when the trees mature.

EROSION

Plant chia seeds to see how trees protect soil from wind and water erosion.

THE SCIENCE BEHIND THE FUN

Vascular plants have special tissue in their stems to carry water and nutrients. They make up about 80 percent of land plants, including trees, ferns, flowering plants, and grasses. Roots are an important part of vascular plants because they take water and nutrients from the environment and move them into the plant body, helping them grow. Although roots are usually surrounded by soil, the roots of some plants can also grow above ground.
