ABSTRACT INFORMATION
'Phenomenal Phenomena!'

As science education transitions into more student-centered learning—based on A Framework for K-12 Science Education and Next Generation Science Standards—science lessons that integrate agricultural literacy must follow suit. Participants will deconstruct traditional lesson plans and write phenomena that engage students in argument-driven inquiry. A lesson template developed by national experts/teachers will be used to create a lesson that incorporates the 5E instructional model; gathering, reasoning, and communicating concepts; and three dimensional learning. Come prepared to participate and share ideas!

Biosketch: Denise Stewardson is an Extension Associate Professor and Director of the Utah Agriculture in the Classroom program at Utah State University. As a faculty member in the School of Applied Sciences, Technology & Education, she also teaches a social science-based agricultural literacy course on global food production for students of all majors. Denise has a Bachelor's degree in technology education from Eastern Illinois University and a Master's degree in Industrial Arts from the University of Maryland. Denise was born and raised in central Illinois—the Land of Lincoln—among the corn and soybean fields. Combining her formal education in technology education with an emphasis in communication, and her work experience with Agriculture in the Classroom, it seems only fitting that she is now paying homage to her roots as an advocate for agricultural literacy.
