At the Ag Expo, 3rd graders learn how natural resources and agriculture are connected.
Have you eaten any soil lately? The students learn that our food comes from soil so we need to take care of it. They also get their hands dirty as they feel soil texture.
This activity shows how we need to have balance when managing the landscape's natural resources. The students are designated as wildlife or livestock and scrambled for poker chips that represent food and water which they needed to survive.
