Grades K-5 learned more about how their food is raised when they visited the Michigan Farm Bureau Food, Agriculture & Resources in Motion (FARM) Science Lab. Equipped with the latest teaching technologies and STEM-based lessons to increase agricultural awareness, the mobile classroom brought hands-on, field trip-type learning directly to us!
The lab is facilitated by regional educators who have been trained on the current Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS), who aim to expand participants’ horizons regarding science and agriculture.
Students learned more about careers in agriculture and science through experiential lessons, including "Simply Moovelous" and "Crawly Critters", helping them understand how agriculture impacts their daily lives so they grow into informed consumers.
