These concepts are better understood when lecture is coupled with hands\u2010on activities. The course Land, Life, and the Environment is an introductory\u2010level soil science course that does not have a laboratory component. Because most students in the class do not have previous experience in utilizing and studying the soil, some lecture times were reallocated as laboratory sessions to promote learning and enhance appreciation of key concepts. Four 25\u2010minute drive\u2010through laboratory sessions were implemented. Each involved small groups of students who go through activity stations in the laboratory. In each station, the instructor either demonstrated a process, discussed soil properties using examples, or taught analytical procedures. Survey shows that at least 94% of students agreed or strongly agreed that drive\u2010through labs enhanced understanding and appreciation of soil science concepts. An average of 89% of the student indicated some concepts would have been difficult to learn without the drive\u2010through labs. Students did not mind attending laboratory sessions in what was intended as a lecture\u2010only class, with 73% indicating the class should have more than three lab sessions. Drive\u2010through laboratory activities is an effective teaching tool in soil science courses that do not have a designated laboratory component.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.4195\/nse2017.07.0015","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2018,8,9]],"date-time":"2018-08-09T17:44:14Z","timestamp":1533836654000},"page":"1-8","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":6,"title":["Delivery and Student Perceptions of Drive\u2010Through Laboratory Sessions in an Introductory\u2010Level Soil Science Course"],"prefix":"10.1002","volume":"47","author":[{"suffix":"Jr.","given":"Sergio M.","family":"Abit","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Plant and Soil Sciences Oklahoma State University Stillwater OK 74078"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Patrick","family":"Curl","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Plant and Soil Sciences Oklahoma State University Stillwater OK 74078"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"James Jade","family":"Lasquites","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Plant and Soil Sciences Oklahoma State University Stillwater OK 74078"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Blake","family":"MacNelly","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Plant and Soil Sciences Oklahoma State University Stillwater OK 74078"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2018,8,9]]},"reference":[{"volume-title":"Utilizing videos to enhance student understanding of soil science calculations","year":"2015","author":"Abit S.M.","key":"e_1_2_7_2_1"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_3_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.2134\/jnrlse.2004.0021"},{"issue":"2","key":"e_1_2_7_4_1","first-page":"129","article-title":"Effect of a soil microbial activity laboratory on student learning","volume":"58","author":"Appel C.","year":"2014","journal-title":"NACTA J."},{"key":"e_1_2_7_5_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"145","DOI":"10.4195\/jnrlse.2010.0002","article-title":"Crossword puzzles as learning tools in introductory soil science","volume":"39","author":"Barbarick K.A","year":"2010","journal-title":"J.
