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 3 through 7, but curriculum is also available for grades K-2. 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. In addition to a teacher and all supplies, the lab comes equipped with a supply of educational resources (videos, books, etc.) that the classroom teacher can use to further enhance and supplement the lab experiment. 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.
