Abstract Details
'Let's Raise a Barn!' |
|
---|---|
In this workshop, we will show attendees how to take a project-based activity (STEM) that is agriculturally-centered and incorporate it into the science and writing curriculum. For example, attendees will be given materials to build a model barn for maximum hay storage. Participants would then learn how students can use a science notebook to explain what they did and their thought process for the project. Participants will also learn how to extend this project to a more rigorous level with student inquiry--based exercises using agriculture topics. Workshop Session (all workshops will be 60 minutes) | |

Biosketch: | I have been in education for over 17 years with experience in Title One, second, third, fifth, and the sixth grades. Having been raised on a cattle farm in Mid-Missouri, agriculture is a passion of mine. This passion continues as my husband and I raise cattle, sheep, and goats on our family farm. I take this passion into my classroom by incorporating agriculture literacy into my curriculum. Additionally, I love sharing agriculture literacy ideas and lessons with other teachers. |
