Dr. Grace Ogden excites her new students about soils using LEGO bricks. She presented this activity at CANVAS 2025. Dr. Randa Jabbour encourages her students to think deeper about topics in agroecology by connecting lectures to museum artworks. She published her experience in Natural Sciences Education.Read the article.Cover: A soil science lab uses childhood toys to teach undergraduates about runoff. Photo courtesy of Grace Ogden.
