Harnessing Agricultural Phenomena to Teach Science

Bring science to life through the lens of agriculture! In this micro-course, you’ll explore how agricultural phenomena—like genetics in livestock biology—can deepen student understanding of science concepts. You’ll learn how tools like Expected Progeny Differences (EPDs) illustrate real-world applications of genomics, and you’ll discover additional ag-based phenomena that align with science standards. This course also highlights agriculture teachers as valuable partners, offering rich insights, examples, and strategies you can use in your own classroom. Includes the downloadable resources: Genomic Testing Article & Reading Guide
