The "From Farm to Table" unit will provide 2nd grade students with an understanding of the journey food takes from the farm to their tables. Students will explore the water cycle, plant life cycle
How do we take the school's healthy snacks & create tasty meals?
Students start to build 3d models of the entire farm or a smaller, more detailed area. Students continue to focus on ratios, volume, and nets while combating the environmental effects of farming.
As part of a unit on renewable energy, students build and collect data on a solar powered fan. They learn about agrivoltaics and build a model of a racking system. They explore angles and energy use.
In this lesson SW illustrate food systems, food miles, and plant use in everyday items. SW transplant plants from mini garden to raised garden bed. SW perform plant measurements and make observations
This is a solar panel investigation lesson using mini solar panels from Agrivoltaics Kits provided from U of A. Students will investigate how the direction and angle impacts voltage output.
This STEM lesson combines Math, Science and a bit of Engineering. Students will walk through the process of raising chicks to hens. Using pretend chicks and research to collect data about how they
Stage 2 of a 4-stage project. Students will continue to research the pros and cons of small farms. Students will revisit their original farm drawing, ensuring they have different key features, and
Stage one of a 4 stage project. Students will research crops and seasons to create a blueprint that will serve as the guidelines for building a small functioning farm.
