Activity 1 - Exploring American Agriculture
Activity 1 - Exploring American Agriculture
This activity used a Nearpod for students to interact. It also included:
Information and sample infographics from the American Farm Bureau Foundation for Agriculture Food and Farm Facts book.
And a slightly dated, yet still good perspective on scope of agriculture, video called "Some Food for Thought."
Activity 2 - Agriculture Fact Infographic
Activity 2 - Agriculture Fact Infographic
Activity requirements are indicated in the presentation below. The website used for students to find information to create the infographic is https://www.agfoundation.org/common-questions/view/category/ag-lifestyle

Unit 2: Plant Science
Unit 2: Plant Science
Activity 1: Plant Parts and Function
Activity 1: Plant Parts and Function
The first activity sets up foundational knowledge of plant parts and function using a Nearpod lesson infused with Flocabuary. You can get the information but not the experience below.
Activity 2: Seed Germination Lab Set Up
Activity 2: Seed Germination Lab Set Up
Note: Students who indicated to the teacher that they did not have seeds or a closeable plastic sandwich bag in the week prior to this activity were mailed supplies to conduct the lab. Evidence of why communication is key.
Activity 3: Salad Bar Experience
Activity 3: Salad Bar Experience
Activity 4: Seed Dispersal and Germination
Activity 4: Seed Dispersal and Germination
The second lesson of the Plant Science Remote Learning unit uses a Nearpod lesson to explore concepts related to seed dispersal and factors influencing germination in preparation for wrapping up the lab set up in Activity 2. You can find a similiar lesson below.
Activity 5: Seed Lab Flipgrid
Activity 5: Seed Lab Flipgrid
With roughly a week of the seed germination lab done, students check in with a video update. Tips for the camera shy are provided in the Google Classroom assignment overview.
Activity 6: Seed Lab Wrap up
Activity 6: Seed Lab Wrap up
After letting their seeds have two weeks to germinate, students evaluated the progress of their seeds and the accuracy of predictions. They connected concepts learned in Activity 4: Seed Dispersal and Germination to the performance of their own seeds.
Here are some of our student's results.

Activity 1: Animal Terms
Activity 1: Animal Terms
Students are learning through a Nearpod. However, you can see the terms they are getting familiar with in this Prezi.
Activity 2: Ways We Use Animals
Activity 2: Ways We Use Animals
This is a lesson I really wish we were experiencing together in class as the discussion and dialogue we have during this time truly helps to broaden the spectrum of cultural practices and beliefs related to animals as well as different dietary preferences.
