Discover how Minnesota Agriculture in the Classroom was able to use funds from a USDA Specialty Crop Block Grant to develop engaging videos, teacher tours, and a 10-lesson booklet. Attendees will gain hands-on experience with the specialty crop themed curricular resources that focus on standards-based connections in science, social studies and health. These activities will serve as a starting point for participants to brainstorm strategies for utilizing fruits, vegetables, herbs, honey, maple syrup and other interesting specialty crops for contextualizing learning. Workshop Session (all workshops will be 75 minutes) | |
