A friend of mine forwarded me this site, and I thought that I'd share. Especially as a South Dakota country girl, I love it when we can integrate some "home grown" topics into our science curriculum. Into the Outdoors is a collection of videos and supplemental materials that teaches everything from Farm Science to Biology. Check out this video about Soybean Farming:
To me, seeing the the John Deeres out is common place in my morning drive, but to many non-farm kids, tractors are foreign machinery. I think it is incredibly important to learn about where our food comes from and how important agriculture is to our economy in America and this site seems to have a few good items to help that pursuit. There are also some great learning tools associated with the beef industry as well.
I hope you get a chance to check it out and use it in your classroom!
