Students learn about the history of agriculture in Wyoming. Students develop an understanding of the role of agriculture in Wyoming and why it is important to practice good stewardship.

The Wyoming Student Atlas helps Wyoming's students learn about the human, physical, cultural, and historical geography of their state, while increasing critical thinking skills and spatial awareness. The Wyoming Student Atlas was produced by the Wyoming Geographic Information Science Center (WyGISC) in partnership with the Wyoming Geographic Alliance. The Wyoming Student Atlas is available as a soft cover book, as a digital flipbook, and as a series of science or social studies Web-based interactive story maps which can be used in lesson plans either as self-guided or instructor-guided activities.

Most activities are aligned with Wyoming Social Studies standards (2018) or Wyoming Science Standards (2016).

This is a page on the Fast Plants website, describing the Yellow-Green Leaf variety of Fast Plants (Brassica rapa). This page includes suggestions for investigations and teaching applications using this seed variety.

This lesson guides students to connect the PBS Adaptation video series on climate adaptation to their own community. Students describe their community, identify climate impacts faced by their community, research how their community is adapting to those impacts, and then create a digital story about what they found.

O objetivo do estudo foi compreender as relações entre o mito e as práticas de trabalho do agroecossistema familiar na construção da conservação ambiental. Sob o ponto de análise da prática de conservação ambiental de influência mítica o estudo se deu em Nova Aliança, comunidade pertencente ao município de Benjamin Constant, Alto Solimões, Amazonas, Brasil. A presente cartilha intitulada "A conservação ambiental de influência mítica no ensino da Língua Portuguesa, Alto Solimões-AM", pretende usar o etnosaber no contexto educacional para mediar a sensibilidade e a continuidade de práticas que promovam a conservação do sistema ambiental e o ensino da Língua Portuguesa. Direcionando assim, a práxis pedagógica para o educador do Ensino Fundamental (5º ao 9º ano) de Ensino Básico no contexto escolar do Altos Solimões, Amazonas, Brasil. Em vista disso, a estrutura desta, é constituída de informações sobre a localização da área investigada, o mito de criação do povo Kokama a partir da visão dos mais idosos, história do povo Kokama de Nova Aliança, os agroecossistemas familiares ou unidades produtivas, a representação da perspectiva de interações, as relações morfossintáticas da Língua Portuguesa, o processo de desenvolvimento do ensino, sugestão de temas e as considerações. Educador, bom uso desta proposta, podendo ainda colaborar com sugestões ou compartilhando com os demais profissionais das outras áreas do Ensino básico. É uma demonstração de visibilidade da conservação ambiental dos Kokamas para a sociedade envolvente. E uma das muitas alternativas para o ensino da Língua Portuguesa e outros componentes curriculares da escola amazônica.

Owing to their sessile lifestyle, plants are continuously exposed to a broad range of environmental stresses. The main abiotic stresses that affect plants and crops in the field are being extensively studied. They include drought, salinity, heat, cold, chilling, freezing, nutrient, high light intensity, ozone (O3) and anaerobic stresses. Under natural conditions, combinations of two or more stresses, such as drought and salinity, salinity and heat, and combinations of drought with extreme temperature or high light intensity are common to many agricultural areas around the world and could impact crop productivity. A major challenge towards world agriculture involves production of 70% more food crop for an additional 2.3 billion people by 2050 worldwide. Salinity is a major stress limiting the increase in the demand for food crops. More than 20% of cultivated land worldwide (about 45 hectares) is affected by salt stress and the amount is increasing day by day. Plants on the basis of adaptive evolution can be classified roughly into two major types: the halophytes (that can withstand salinity) and the glycophytes (that cannot withstand salinity and eventually die).Majority of major crop species belong to this second category. Thus salinity is one of the most brutal environmental stresses that hamper crop productivity worldwide.

This lesson explains the way pH can influence nutrient uptake and absorption in plants, and includes a lab activity to test soil samples.  Lesson and activity from Nebraska CASE Soybean Curriculum.
