The objective of this teaching tool is to provide video footage of soil identification and classification. The teaching tool consists of 10 videos that illustrate characteristics of 10 soil orders within the Canadian System of Soil Classification. Numerous soil description and identification techniques are demonstrated. This material provides a valuable teaching resource for various courses in soil science, agriculture, forestry, and natural resource management either as an in-class or off-campus review.
