Abstract for the conference program
As a rural Elementary School striving for STEM certification in South Georgia, we bring real-life and real-world experiences into our instruction. Being from Colquitt County, where farming is the largest industry and home of the Ag EXPO, we decided to incorporate Agriculture into our classrooms in all subject areas. Our students attend Ag as one of their connection times each week. Each grade has some form of continual agricultural project contributing to our long term STEM project of providing food to our local senior center. In this session, we plan to share how we bring Agriculture to Elementary school and engage our audience by giving them a small glimpse of an Agricultural STEM activity called “Cotton: From Farm to Market.”
