What elements make up the soil around us? Students will investigate the basics of atomic structure and discover how scientists use a soil sample to determine soil type.

In the first lesson of this project, students identified tillage systems and their effects on soil. This second lesson in the sequence identifies the role of cation exchange in soil fertility and examine the relationship between soil structure and cation exchange capacity.

After completing part 1 where students learned what soil texture is and how to plot the texture on the soil triangle, students will separate the individual soil particles in a lab situation and determine the % of each particle in an unknown sample and plot the sample on the soil triangle.

Students will learn how soil texture is important to Agriculture Studies. They will learn terms used and how to use the soil texture triangle to determine a soil's name or texture based on how much sand silt and clay are in the soil.

In this second lesson students will be introduced to different ways irrigation can be affected by environmental factors such as heat and soil types. This is a lab experiment that will require some prior planning and set up.

This course is designed to help students develop a general awareness of health careers and specific preparation for physical therapy and sports medicine occupations. Classroom instruction covers such topics as: medical terminology; human anatomy; emergency procedures; soft tissue and bone injuries; causes, symptoms and management of injuries; nutrition; physical fitness; and career opportunities. In addition to this ongoing classroom instruction, students will rotate through on-the-job training experiences with local physical therapists, chiropractors, athletic trainers, physical education instructors and recreational facility managers. Throughout this course, the studentsŐ core academic skills and ability to deal with people will be stressed.

This 2 day lesson includes a review on the twelve soil orders found on our planet and common soil testing procedures. Students will learn how to perform a soil ribbon test to determine the soil type, and measure the water holding capacity of a soil sample.

This final lesson in a sequence of lessons about tillage, agricultural practices and soil chemistry will combine all of the unit's content into a cohesive presentation that will prepare them for their summative course assessment. Course project soil data will serve as the foundation for the presentation.

This lesson is the third in a sequence that focuses on the relationship between tillage, soil structure, nutrient retention and production systems.

In this lesson the students will be introduced to the various types of working drawings and the necessary information on working drawings to provide all the necessary information to manufacture, construct, or install parts to machinery. They will learn the purposes of each of the working drawing types, what information is included, and the application of the four parts of a working drawing.

For vegetative growth and development, plants require, within reach of their roots, water of adequate quality, in appropriate quantity and at the right time. Most of the water a plant absorbs performs the function of raising dissolved nutrients from the soil to the aerial organs, from where it is released to the atmosphere by transpiration: agricultural water use is intrinsically consumptive. Crops have specific water requirements, and these vary depending on local climatic conditions. this first lesson students will be introduced to different methods of irrigation. These methods are specifically associated to vineyards, however they could be adapted to address irrigation methods that are used in your area. You will need computers and internet access for this lesson. Students will be creating digital infographics that will be used as resources in an app they will create as the culminating project.

The purpose of this course is to provide a project-based visual arts program, which guides students to achieve the standards in the visual arts and career technical training, by providing students with the technical instruction and practical experiences for aspiring video and film makers in the production of film, video, and new media projects for business and entertainment. Students experience both the creative and technical aspects of filmmaking in conjunction with learning about historical and contemporary traditions and conventions.Students are instructed on the three stages of project creation. In pre-production, students learn the basic principles of story development, screenplay writing, storyboarding, scheduling and budget planning. Instruction in the production stage includes basic visual composition, color theory, set up and operation of camera, sound, and lighting equipment. Students learn to use cutting-edge software applications for video and audio post-production. Mastering and delivery methods, in both traditional and new media, are explored.The course also includes the basics of job shadowing, internships, and job placement. The competencies in this course are aligned with the California High School Academic Content Standards and the California Career Technical Education Model Curriculum Standards. Interdisciplinary experiences and arts activities lead to refining a personal aesthetic, and a heightened understanding of career opportunities in art and arts-related fields.

Tour a farm or processing facility from the comfort of your couch! FarmFood360° is a series of virtual farm and processing facility tours throughout Canada. Students can test their knowledge at the end of each tour.

Check out a sheep farm, apple orchard, mushroom farm, or even see cheese being made!

Most tours also include a brief quiz to test your knowledge after the tour!
