This video outlines the importance of using eye protection when working. It outlines the most common activities when eye injuries happen. This video would be helpful in a PAA class when learning about worker safety or in the farm safety sections of agriculture-related courses.
The GotSafety Youtube channel also offers these videos in Spanish.
In this video, common types of PPE are tested to see how they can protect from projectiles, falling objects, and other possible hazards. This is an entertaining take on Personal Protective Equipment and how it protects people.
Let's talk hearing conservation, noise and hearing loss so that you know what actions you can take to protect your hearing in the workplace or at home.
Power Take Off’s (PTO’s) on tractors and machinery are all too frequently a cause of serious or even fatal injury. This presentation demonstrates how to assess the safety of guarding and how to fit a PTO guard correctly. Guarding saves lives.
This site is full of resources about literacy for parents and their children. Information is divided into birth-Prek, K-3, 4-6 and 7-12.
Each section contains informational sites for parents, as well as activities students can do at home to improve their literacy skills.
Oceans play a significant role in determining and moderating the effects of energy imbalances. Students will begin this lesson by working with temperature data to reinforce the importance of protocols, practice computing statistical measures of data and interpreting their significance. The lesson continues with investigations into daily and annual energy cycles. Using a sea surface environment visualizer, students then identify patterns of sea surface current and temperature data. Note that this is lesson five of five on the Ocean Motion website. Each lesson investigates ocean surface circulation using satellite and model data and can be done independently. See Related URL's for links to the Ocean Motion Website that provide science background information, data resources, teacher material, student guides and a lesson matrix.
To identify the male and female structures of the flower, recognize their function in reproduction, and differentiate between perfect and imperfect flowers.
An interactive Periodic Table of Elements from Nutrients for Life Foundation.
In this lesson students will investigate the physical properties of matter, learn 4 important physical properties of soil commonly tested in Agriculture Studies production and rediscover the 3 components of soil used for the USDA soil classification system.
This Physics video explains the Application of Pascal's Law in Hydraulics.
The following is a list of picture books that teachers can reference when looking for books to use in the classroom that will infuse agriculture into lessons they're already teaching. These books would be very useful to teach a variety of reading strategies and comprehension tools with such as making connections, predicting, and determining author's purpose.
CropLife/ASTA Video on plant breeding and its many milestones.
Students see the effects that poor soil, excess/insufficient water, and insufficient light have on a plant’s ability to survive. Students make the connection between caring for crops, successful production, and the role of stewardship in Wyoming’s agriculture.
This lesson is part 2 in a 6 part unit on Biotechnology use in Agriculture Studies. It sets the foundation for the culminating project by teaching students about germination and the factors that effect germination. Students will be introduced to the factors that effect germination and then perform an experiment that allows them to evaluate germination rates.
During this lesson students will be exposed the requirements of plants for growth. Students will have the opportunity to become familiar with each requirement for plant growth, and what effect that requirement has on the plant.
Students will show that plants grow more successfully in fertile soil when compared to other materials.
Students will learn plant, seed, and flower parts and their functions.
Where do plants get their food from? Remember they are autotrophic, plants make their own food through the process of photosynthesis. In order to make all of the macromolecules, the plant needs to obtain some other elements from the soil. For example, Nitrogen is needed to make protein. As you know Nitrogen is needed to make protein, so without this element the plant will have stunted growth.
"Canadians have more choices and pay some of the lowest prices in the world for FOOD — thanks in part to the plant science technologies farmers use, from pesticides to plant biotechnology."
