This communication material is based on the findings of the study titled Probiotic as Alternative to Antibiotic in Broiler Diets of Jesus P. Cocal and Lilibeth A. Roxas (as cited in Gintong Saliksik: Multi-Disciplinary Research Journal of CNSC (Volume I No. 1, 2010)). This aims to simplify the presenation of the effects of antibiotic and probiotic on broiler chickens. It is written in Filipino because it is the mother-tongue of the intended audience who are poultry owners and farmers.

This activity will check students’ understanding of the swine ear-notching system of livestock identification. Credit @whiteoakffa and Sarah Nerswick

In the growing season, farmers and ranchers keep a watchful eye for any sign of drought. Early warning information can increase their range of options for dealing with the lack of water.

Students learn where certain crops are grown in Wyoming and hypothesize reasons for some areas being better suited for growing crops than others (water availability, elevation, and topography).

Second Edition

Short Description:
The Economics of Food and Agricultural Markets is written for applied intermediate microeconomics courses.

Long Description:
The Second Edition of Economics of Food and Agricultural Markets is written for applied intermediate microeconomics courses. The book showcases the power of economic principles to explain and predict issues and current events in the food, agricultural, agribusiness, international trade, labor markets, and natural resource sectors. The field of agricultural economics is relevant, important and interesting. The study of market structures, also called industrial organization, provides powerful, timely, and useful tools for any individual or group making personal choices, business decisions, or public policies in food and agricultural industries.

Readers will benefit from a large number of real-world examples and applications of the economic concepts under discussion. The book introduces economic principles in a succinct and reader-friendly format, providing students and instructors with a clear, up-to-date, and straightforward approach to learning how a market-based economy functions, and how to use simple economic principles for improved decision making. The principles are applied to timely, interesting, and important real-world issues through words, graphs, and simple algebra and calculus. This book is intended for students who study agricultural economics, microeconomics, rural development and/or environmental policy.

Students will apply the definition of stewardship in order to identify and understand the importance of considering both visible and invisible aspects of an ecosystem.

This set of five activities focuses on how climate change can affect agriculture, including crop production and ranching. The activities in this guide are appropriate for both formal and informal settings and all student handouts, instructor guides, and supporting files are included. The curriculum is designed for five days of activities that build on one another, but can also be used individually.

In this lesson, students will investigate the different aspects of the poultry industry. Through a stations activity, they will define poultry terminology, anatomical names, feed calculations, breeds and different types of commercial bird housing. 

The “Einstein Project” is a framework that is designed to help you find a solution to an everyday problem that makes you passionate in your thinking and designing. This project is designed to make you think outside of the box as active learners and create solutions in uncommon ways, forget about failing or succeeding and take chances.

In this lesson on branch circuits in electrical wiring, students will explore installing devices, calculating load and location, and safety in electrical wiring of branch circuits. Documents include a slide presentation and notes, NEC diagram, and four student practice worksheets.  

This Unit is a collection resources that cover a 4 week span. This unit was designed with EL students in mind. Each day has vocabulary that will allow students learn key phrases and attributes of each career. Each week a different categories of careers is highlighted through books, activites, and videos. The categories include:Week 1: Farming CareersWeek 2: Health CareersWeek 3: Environmental CareersWeek 4: Art Careers Projected Funded by: PGE Foundation  #PoweringPotentialProject Coordinated by: South Metro-Salem STEM Partnership

Spreadsheets across the Curriculum module. Students build spreadsheets that allow them to calculate the different values needed to examine energy flow through agroecosystems.

Elementary educators are encouraged to facilitate students in engineering design to meet the expectations of the Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS). BSCS Science Learning, in collaboration with Life Lab, developed the Engineering in the Garden program to help 3rd-5th grade teachers and garden educators engage students in designing solutions to address real-world problems that arise in schoolyards and school gardens.

Course combines the fields of ecology and conservation with planning for the efficient use and preservation of land, water, wildlife, and forests. Within this course may be topics covering environmental factors affecting water, water pollution, water and land use management, alternative energy resources, metals and minerals.
** References to Common Core Standards are included as the first slide in each lesson's PowerPoint**

The word "heritage" is one that means many things to many people. It often brings to mind things like food, language, clothing, or other traditions that are passed on from generation to generation. But it also includes places, buildings, art, values, and ways of making a living in particular environments. In Maya communities, as is the case elsewhere around the world, cultural practices and the environment are tightly connected, with one shaping the other.With this workbook we take a broad view of heritage, one that links cultural and environmental histories, landscapes, and practices together. A term that UNESCO and others often use is "cultural landscapes" to refer to a long and intimate relationship between peoples and their...environment (http://whc.unesco.org/en/culturallandscape/)." This also reflects the ways many of the people who shared this information for the workbook view their own heritage.

Students will learn about different opportunities within the horse industry, how they are incorporated within the livestock industry and the recreational use of horses.

 Equine Facilities Project Grade Level: 9th - 12thSubject: Animal ScienceDuration: 4 daysDOK Level: 4SAMR Level: AugmentationIndiana Standard: AS-9.1 Identify facilities needed to house and produce each animal species safely and efficiently AS-9.2 Select equipment and implement animal handling procedures and improvements AS-9.3 Identify optimal environmental conditions for animals Objective: The students will be able to apply the principles learned in animal management to design a equine facilities that meets the needs of a given scenario. Procedure: Hold a class discussion on the requirements that need to be met to house a horse properly. Ask the students to answer the Following questions, “What do you feel is the most important need to address when planning a facility and why?” “What questions do you need to ask the owner?” Divide the students into pairs.Handout and explain the expectations of the Equine Facilities Project. Use google classroom to handout the project sheet and keep posted on the student's progress.Demonstrate the FBI Planner Program . Allow the students to research and use their own method to create the blueprint of the facilities. Day 2 Check progress of the students. Make sure the students have a plan and system to get the project completeDay 3 Check the students’ written descriptions for the project. Make sure there are no misunderstandings to this pointDay 4 Have the students present their ideas to the rest of the class. Product or Assessment: The students product will consist of a blueprint of the facilities and a written description describing the blueprint with reasoning/justification to the decision that were made.  

Students will learn about the difference in horse colors, leg makrings and face markings.
