Abstract:
A teaching tool on soil erosion and conservation. Students are initially
asked to estimate the magnitude of soil erosion in the US, their surrounding
area and place of residence. Then the program calculates the amount of
erosion on one or more fields dependent on the user's local soil type and
climate .Concludes by repeating the initial questions, enabling students
to assess changes in their knowledge levels.
