Teachers! Students! Parents!
Looking for an exciting, educational
& interactive
program to assist
your school
in meeting the agricultural components
of the state science
standards?
 PA Farm Bureau's Mobile Ag Ed Science Lab may be just what
you’re looking
for! A mobile agriculture education science lab, complete with all supplies
and a certified teacher, travels to a different elementary or middle school
in Pennsylvania each week. The lab is designed to target grades K through
8.
A 32 ft. trailer, complete
with heating and air conditioning, the mobile lab contains 12 work stations. Each
station provides space for 2-3 students to complete hands-on experiments.
The lab accommodates up to 900 students per week, by teaching (5-6) 50
minute science classes per day.
The science curriculum taught meets Pennsylvania
Department of Education Science & Technology and Environment & Ecology
Standards and is endorsed by the Pennsylvania Department of Agriculture.
The children perform hands-on science experiments, each teaching a lesson
in agriculture. The experiments performed include equipment and supplies
not readily available to classroom teachers and are of a nature that most
teachers wouldn't want to tackle in a traditional classroom setting. Each
science experiment is designed to emphasize adifferent aspect of agriculture,
including Pennsylvania's primary commodities, the environment, biotechnology,
food and fiber, etc…Children
work cooperatively to solve a problem as they form a hypothesis, collect
data and draw conclusions.
