Soil science program for teens
MO DIRT - Missourians Doing Impact Research Together, which promotes STEM learning through new science education and outreach opportunities in Missouri. The goals of MO DIRT are two-fold: (1) to further educate citizens on the societal importance of healthy soils and (2) to recruit as many individuals as possible to examine the current properties of our state soils and how these are being influenced by land use and management, as well as microclimate and climate change. Currently offering training to volunteer citizens who are interested in contributing to the research efforts through MO DIRT by conducting soil health surveys across the state of Missouri. The training takes about 3 hours, and participants receive instructions on how to measure various physical, chemical, and biological indicators of soil health such as soil temperature, moisture, respiration, nutrients, color, texture, etc. Participants interested in establishing their own survey site will receive a soil kit with a manual. The training as well as the kit and manual are free. looking for members to become a part of a great team of citizen scientists who, with research scientists, will learn more about climate, plants, communities and our state's natural resources.

Chesterfield Presbyterian Church Homeschool Network
Chesterfield Presbyterian Church (CPC) Homeschool Network (HSN) is a Christian learning center where homeschooled students in grades K-8 can experience a day of classes. Our format helps students grow in skills necessary for working with others, adapting to different teaching styles and meeting the expectations of teachers other than their parent. These classes serve as a supplement and enrichment to what the student is already doing at home and encourages the student to grow academically and socially as they work both with partners or in small groups to solve problems, work on projects, participate in discussions, and other class activities. Together the students develop empathy for each other and make new friendships as they journey through these subjects during the school year.
We meet on Thursdays from 8:45 a.m. to 3:15 p.m. for two 12 week semesters. The first semester typically meets during the months of September - November. The second semester typically meets during the months of January - April. We meet at Chesterfield Presbyterian Church, located at 15037 Clayton Road, Chesterfield, Missouri.
