Spread It. Grow It. Know It.
Grade Level: Middle School
There are many things that impact growing healthy plants, like corn. Essential elements are vital to sustaining life on our planet. Plants require 17 essential elements. These essential elements can be found in air, water, and soil. Soil is continuously being formed by geological and biological processes. The organisms that live in the soil create a unique ecosystem in which its inhabitants depend upon and interact with one another. Missing essential elements and poor soil can both cause plant health to be affected.
