Today’s students are the future stewards of our planet and equipping them with a comprehensive understanding of soil and plant science is vital. Nutrients for Life (NFL) Canada has rolled out its Soil Science Explore Boxes for the new school year – dynamic classroom kits developed in collaboration with NFL USA to celebrate Global Fertilizer Day on Oct. 13.

Each box is packed with hands-on soil activities, soil samples and engaging plant nutrient resources, designed to inspire students in Grades 7–12 to delve deeper into the fascinating world of plant and soil science. These boxes bring science to life, sparking curiosity and discovery in every classroom.

Take action today!
