The project described in this article is easy to understand and implement in the average classroom. I also appreciated that the approximate cost of each material was provided (and that they are inexpensive). Learning objectives for this unit are in line with national standards as well. Great article!

The best part of this article is the resources at the end of the article in the form of websites which can provide guest lectures, resources/materials, or information for teaching agricultural topics. The article also describes how students experimented with both seeds and pest to better understand about the food that was in their grocery stores and how it is grown. What is needed and who provides it as well as cost are presented in a materials list. As the author says “Agriculture connects students with their community and offers opportunities for scientific investigation.”
