Soil Test Kit – Large (Hanna), KS3+ Suitable

This Hanna Large Soil Test Kit is an excellent resource for KS3+ science, designed to help students investigate and monitor key indicators of soil health. The kit enables clear, hands‑on testing of pH, nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P), and potassium (K)—the essential nutrients for plant growth. Simple to use and highly visual, it allows pupils to explore real environmental and biological concepts through practical analysis.

To perform a test, students mix a soil sample with water and combine it with one of the included chemical reagents. The resulting colour change is then compared with the supplied chart, providing an easy‑to‑interpret reading. Nutrient levels are indicated as low, medium, or high, while pH is measured between pH 4 and pH 9 in 1‑pH increments.

The kit contains enough materials to carry out 25 tests for each of the four parameters, making it ideal for group work, repeated classroom activities, and ongoing soil investigations.

Key Features

• Suitable for KS3+ environmental science and biology
• Tests four key soil parameters: pH, nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium
• Simple colour‑comparison method for rapid results
• pH scale from 4 to 9, in 1‑unit intervals
• Nutrient results displayed as low / medium / high
• Includes reagents and components for 25 tests per parameter
• Easy‑to‑use, classroom‑friendly design

Ideal for School Science Lessons

This soil test kit is perfect for practical activities exploring:

• Soil composition and fertility
• Plant growth requirements
• Environmental science and fieldwork skills
• Agricultural science and nutrient cycles
• Human impacts on soil quality

Students gain hands‑on experience in sampling, testing, data interpretation, and environmental monitoring—making this an engaging and versatile addition to any school science curriculum.
