'Crop Variety Selection for Planting Purposes' |
|
|---|---|
|
In this workshop session, teachers will analyze a few of the many varieties of rice, corn, and soybean seeds. Experiments will be done to show the germination process as well as the environmental effects on these varieties. This will simulate the environmental conditions that seeds must endure to germinate. This will also simulate weather related factors that row crop farmers must calculate for when choosing the variety of seeds to plant on their farm. Portions of this workshop can be used in grades ranging from 6-12 grade science classes. Mini-Workshop Session (activity should be easily demonstrated in 20 minutes and will be repeated 3 times on Friday) | |
