Each lesson includes black-line masters of the handouts and visuals needed to teach the lesson.

The jig saw is an important tool/piece of equipment used in woodworking. In this set of lessons, students will identify the parts of a jig saw, describe the safety hazards associated with the jig saw, and demonstrate the steps to operating the jig saw. This lesson will consist of a PowerPoint lecture, notes, video, teacher demonstration, student demonstration, safety quiz, and student performance assessment.

This series of information packets, worksheets, and tests describes various power tools, safety measures, and operating instructions in the agriculture classroom. 

This series of lessons includes lectures and activities to demonstrate judging the condition of soil for a given area of land, the qualities of that soil, and identifying management actions to correct the condition if needed. 

Designed as an overview of design elements and principles in art and computer graphics with optional hand-on activity. 

Overview:  Presented in five consecutive standard-period classes, students will think critically about an experience in their lives that have made a lasting, positive impact for which they are grateful.  Students will write and hone rough drafts, give and solicit peer review and teacher critique, and develop a three-minute oral presentation of the final draft to their class.  Lesson by Jarvis L. Reed.

Students will analyze animals against a standard ideal, and explain the relationship between an animal’s form and function.

Students will be able to use correct terminology for livestock (e.g. bovine, steer, ewe, ram). This lesson is used in exploring agriculture, animal science lesson.  Written by Kathryn Savat.

The Nature of Geographic Information is an orientation to the properties of geographic data and the practice of distance learning. The purpose of this course is to promote understanding of the Geographic Information Science and Technology (GIS&T) enterprise. GIS&T is the intersection of professions, institutions, and technologies that produce geographic data and render information from it. It is a rapidly growing and evolving field. Learning is a way of life for all GIS&T professionals. With this in mind, I hope that this text may contribute to your lifelong exploration of how geospatial technologies can be used to improve the quality of life-yours and your neighbors', locally and globally, now and in the future.
