How can two metal prongs estimate how much moisture is in soil? A resistive soil moisture sensor measures electrical changes between its electrodes. Moist soil generally conducts electricity better than dry soil, allowing a connected controller to estimate moisture and automate watering. Learn the real science behind this simple STEM component.
