Through field trips, tours and hands-on workshops, interactive training for K-12 grade teachers demonstrates how to infuse agricultural concepts into existing curriculum and meet Maryland State Standards. Teachers receive numerous resource materials and ready to use lessons in the workshops. Students receive direct agricultural training as the mobile science labs visit schools across the state. Agriculture plays a critical role in our lives. It provides an experiential teaching tool for the core curricula of science, social studies, life skills, mathematics, and language arts. Incorporating agriculture into teaching and learning creates the foundation that students, as future citizens, need to make educated decisions regarding food choices and nutrition, community issues, land use planning, and natural resource conservation.
