Design a Farm Project Requirements
Farm Blueprint: The farm blueprint is a drawing that includes necessary buildings, fencing, and acreage needed for the type of farm given to the group. Each group will receive 5 acres of land to use as the group sees fit. (50 points)
Project Poster: The project poster is an informational poster that includes a map of the state that the farm is located in, a description of the climate of the state, and a description of how the climate affects the crop/commodity. (50 points)
Educational Materials: You and your partner will need to design a learning activity to use with another classroom. It can be a worksheet, a matching activity, a board game, a PE activity, or something else. You and your partner will be expected to teach this activity to another classroom as part of your project completion. (50 points)
Product Bazaar: During the product bazaar, you and your partner will be expected to bring an item in that relates or is made from the crop/commodity that would be grown on your farm. For example: If I was a starting an orchard of peaches, I might bring in a peach pie that I baked for the class to taste. (25 points)
