GROWING CURIOSITY ABOUT AGRICULTURE, NATURAL RESOURCES, FOOD, AND PEOPLE

Iowa teachers and students are having fun teaching and learning-by-doing these classroom lessons. Standards and benchmarks were used to create more than 40 kindergarten through third grade science, social studies, language arts, history, math, music, and art lessons. The lessons and four outdoor classroom plans help students develop important life skills such as communication, critical thinking, responsibility, learning to learn, and healthy lifestyle choices. Teachers report that these lessons fit into existing lesson plans, the format is easy to follow, and the materials are readily available. More than 16 pages of resources are listed in the appendix.
