This article explains the importance of applying physics in agriculture. It highlights the significance of teaching students studying in the
field of agriculture about soil thermal conductivity and conducting laboratory sessions. The thermal conductivity coefficient of soil (k) is
a crucial factor for growth processes, water retention, and plant development, and this knowledge ensures effective management in agrotechnologies.
The article provides a detailed description of the experimental processes and calculation methods used to determine the
thermal conductivity coefficient based on the “Single Plate Method.” Laboratory works are organized using the CASSY Lab software,
which makes the learning process interactive and modern. This approach increases students' interest and gives them the opportunity to
study modern agro-technologies
