This lesson presents an overview of how plants are propagated. Upon completion of this unit students will know how to propagate plants both sexually and asexually. 

This lesson presents an overview of the importance of plants; the main parts of a plant; the types of each of the plant parts; and the relationship of each part to fruits, nuts, and vegetables. This represents a portion of the Introduction to Agriculture, Food, and Natural Resources (AFNR) series in Nebraska middle and high school agricultural education.

Illustrated instructions for constructing and planting seed disks in the Fast Plants deli-container growing system. This is a stable growing system that is easy to construct for all age learners, and works well for growing Wisconsin Fast Plants. Made from recycled deli-containers, these growing systems can be cleaned and reused for multiple years.

A 2nd grade STEM unit on biodiversity. Students will learn about habitats and their biotic and abiotic components and needs to create and implement a plan/device to increase the biodiversity of the urban school garden.

Students learn how farming has changed over time and how technology enhances the tools that farmers use enabling them to be even better stewards of the land.

Pocket pets are small animals that are commonly had as pets in households with children. This lesson explores the needs, conditions and housing for the different types of pocket pets. 

This webpage from the Fast Plants website explains how to pollinate Fast Plants, including instructions for making bee sticks and pollination videos and tips.

This is a page on the Fast Plants website, describing the Polycot variety of Fast Plants (Brassica rapa). Two generations of the Polycot variety are available, each with a different % of expression of the polycot trait. This page includes suggestions for investigations and teaching applications using this seed variety, including use as a model organism in demonstrating artificial selection.

Food product development can include many different parts and ideas. In this lesson, students will create and market a kind of popcorn.

USDA book (and eBook/online) with photos of different defects related to poultry grading.

This lesson plan is based on Briggs & Stratton's Small Engines course. Please see the attached documents:Carburetor Disassembly & Assembly Lesson PlanCarburetor Disassembly & Assembly Print OutBriggs & Stratton - Carburetor Slides

For irrigated crops, knowing when and how much water to apply has long been a matter of experience and guesswork. In a changing climate, new technology can reduce this uncertainty, enabling farmers to make every drop of water count.

Precision Agriculture Basics is three lesson plans to give students a basic understanding of Precision Agriculture.  It includes:1. Definition of Precision Agriculture2. Uses, Tools and Processes of Precision Agriculture3. Variability in Precision Agriculture

In this activity, students investigate soil erosion and how a changing climate could influence erosion rates in agricultural areas. This activity is part of a larger InTeGrate module called Growing Concern.

This lesson plan will cover establishing business goals, types of agribusiness goals, ways to accomplish goals, and major parts of a business plan. Adapted from Illinois Agricultural Education Core Curriculum.

This is a fourth lesson in computing variable rate prescriptions.  This lesson utilizes four different fertilizer products for meeting N, P, K and S needs of a corn crop.

This activity engages students in considering the scope of costs of tools, technology, and equipment in agriculture. The goal is to correctly guess the prices of various agriculture-related items. The contestant with the closest guess without going over wins the round. This can be used as a classroom activity, or for an FFA Chapter to host an activity for the school like a pep rally.

This video link with accompanying lesson plan and answer key helps students travel through time to learn how the Ogallala Aquifer was formed, discover how damming the North Platte River transformed the semi-arid west into highly productive agricultural land, and see what is being done to balance the demands of a growing population and the need to sustain endangered wildlife. Video is 59 minutes long.

El libro "Principios Básicos de Bioquímica para Agroecología" es una obra que busca proporcionar a los estudiantes de esta disciplina una base sólida en los fundamentos de la bioquímica, escrita por un equipo de docentes investigadores, se presenta como un recurso didáctico para aquellos estudiantes que buscan comprender la relación entre la química, la bioquímica y la agricultura, iniciando con la definición conceptual de bioquímica. A medida que avanza el texto, se profundiza en los conceptos de estructuras de la célula vegetal, sus características y funciones, así como también se describen las proteínas, lípidos, carbohidratos y ácidos nucleicos. Además, aborda temas importantes para la agroecología, como la fotosíntesis y la función de los nutrientes en las plantas. El enfoque en estos temas permite a los estudiantes de agroecología entender cómo los principios de la bioquímica son relevantes para el estudio de la agricultura y la producción de alimentos. Así también incluye una variedad de recursos de apoyo para el aprendizaje, como cuadros, tablas, diagramas y ejemplos. Estos recursos ayudan a los estudiantes a visualizar y comprender los conceptos difíciles de la bioquímica, y a aplicarlos a situaciones del mundo real. Una de las características más destacadas de este documento es su lenguaje accesible y fácil de entender. Los autores han evitado el uso excesivo de terminología técnica y han explicado los conceptos de manera clara y concisa. Esto hace que sea adecuado para estudiantes de diversos niveles y antecedentes académicos. En conclusión, es material bibliográfico valioso y esencial para cualquier estudiante que desee comprender los principios básicos de la bioquímica y su aplicación en el campo de la agroecología. Con una escritura clara, recursos de apoyo útiles y un enfoque en temas relevantes para la agricultura, representa una excelente herramienta para el aprendizaje y la comprensión de la bioquímica y su relación con la producción de alimentos.
