This paper reviews one of the most critical needs of the 21st Century: Educating new soil scientists starting with school age children. Most elementary and secondary schools do not teach earth sciences and have a limited curriculum in the study of physical, biological, and environmental science as related to soil science. The purpose of this paper is to identify a gap in the education curriculum about soils in elementary and secondary education while using one of the most effective teaching methods in educating students: Howard Gardner's Multiple Intelligences. By integrating multiple intelligences and soils in public school outreach, young future soil scientists can begin to build a foundation in earth science (to include soils) and be exposed to the many varied careers around the world associated with soil science. We provide a strategy for incorporating earth science into elementary and secondary curriculum and outline suggestions for higher education to maintain soil science program offerings.
