This is an introductory lab for Environmental Science, investigating the bulk density of soil and water holding capacity.

Diet and exercise are important keys to good health.  This is a design challenge that is part of a unit that I teach in STEM class on health.  Prior to this activity, students explore the CDCs top causes of death with a focus on nutrition, and conduct a study with a focus on MyPlate.  This design challenge helps transition into the exercise component.Students will apply the Engineering Design Process (EDP) to design, test, analyze, and improve a pedometer using micro:bit.

This lesson presents a brief overview of budgeting and tracking income and expenses within a Supervised Agricultural Experience (SAE) program or project.

Students will gain a general understanding of FFA History, opportunities, and procedures, as well as a general knowledge about Agricultural Education through various structured activities. By Holly Podliska, NE AFNR Educator

This lesson prevents an overview of the sources, groups, and types of pollutants affecting the environment. In addition, learners will take an active part in being the “pollution solution” rather than the problem.

This lesson presents an overview of the Food Science Industry.  Learners will learn about proper nutrition, create informational flyers on food-borne pathogenic organisms, and create their very own food product label.

This lesson presents an overview of the various measuring devices used in the agricultural mechanics industry.  Students will practice using several measuring devices to take measurements in the agriculture mechanics laboratory.

This introductory lesson presents an overview of the applications associated with the oxy-fuel welding and cutting processes.  Learners will be exposed to the equipment associated with the process as well as the fundamentals and applications necessary to accurately weld and cut using the process. This lesson should only be used if the instructor has previous experience in oxy-fuel welding.  The instructor must add additional safety protocols associated with the manufacturers of the equipment and school guidelines.

This introductory lesson presents an overview of the various Stationary power tools used in the agricultural mechanics industry.  Students will identify and demonstrate precautionary safety practices while using Stationary power tools after correctly identifying and classifying power tools.

Short Description:
This course will inform participants about climate adaptation policy in Canada and BC. It will allow them to consider how climate policy from international to local levels informs their professional functions and day to day activities on the job.

Long Description:
This course will inform participants about climate adaptation policy in Canada and BC. It will allow them to consider how climate policy from international to local levels informs their professional functions and day to day activities on the job. It will cover, among other things, the basics of environmental policy, differences between climate mitigation and climate adaptation policy, overviews of key policy actors and tools, and policy gaps. It will also consider, in detail, examples of current policy-driven climate adaptation measures in specific areas from engineering to agriculture to hydrology and beyond.

The course format involves short video lectures, interviews with national to local experts, discussions and activities, resources and readings to respond to, and a final capstone activity.

This course is part of the Adaptation Learning Network led by the Resilience by Design Lab at Royal Roads University. The project is supported by the Climate Action Secretariat of the BC Ministry of Environment & Climate Change Strategy and Natural Resources Canada through its Building Regional Adaptation Capacity and Expertise (BRACE) program. The BRACE program works with Canadian provinces to support training activities that help build skills and expertise on climate adaptation and resilience.

Students will be introduced to a variety of cooking oils and examine their nutritional values, costs, and uses.

Students will examine recipe adaptations that improve the nutritional value and/or meet the needs of a special dietary restriction.

Historians ask questions about the past to help understand the present, and gain insight to the future. Created by Big History Project.

This video features changes in the land, sea, and animals that are being observed by the residents of Sachs Harbour, Northwest Territories, Canada â many of whom hunt, trap, and fishâbecause of their long-standing and intimate connection with their ecosystem. Scientists interview the residents and record their observations in order to deepen our understanding of climate change in the polar region. Background essay and discussion questions are included.

This activity is a classroom chemistry lab where students will test different cleaning methods that could be used in oil spills. They will see the effects how oil spills damage animals and the environment.

This activity is a self-created lab investigation where students gather data on acid and its affects on seed germination.
