AA Farming & Agriculture
Each time you sit down to a meal, you can thank a farmer! In this unit study, you will learn where your food comes from, how it is produced, and the agricultural systems and processes that put food in your cupboards and your grocery store shelves full. This kit includes worksheets, a literature study, and multiple hands-on activities. Additional resources are also included for advancing your understanding of farming practices today and throughout history in the United States. From animal husbandry to agronomy, dive into the interesting and vital industries that support life on our planet.

Learning Tips
Learning Tips
We’ve divided the learning experiences into four sections, and we recommend doing the activities in the order suggested as some build upon the next. However, you don’t need to complete all the lesson activities at once if that’s too much for your schedule. Just pause, and pick up where you left off next time. Doing these activities two days a week will take four weeks to complete the unit.
