The purpose of this activity is to demonstrate typical off-flavors in fat caused by oxidative rancidity. Oxidative rancidity results from oxidation of unsaturated and polyunsaturated fatty acids. The products of these reactions produce undesirable flavors and odors.
Students research a breed of poultry. They share their information by creating a fake Facebook Page for their animal. Both an electronic and paper-based form are included.
For irrigated crops, knowing when and how much water to apply has long been a matter of experience and guesswork. In a changing climate, new technology can reduce this uncertainty, enabling farmers to make every drop of water count.
This lesson introduces students to Prions, which are folded proteins that can lead to diseases. The lesson includes articles and building a paper model
Biodiversity is a shortened form of the term "biological diversity." The entire spectrum of life forms and the many ecological processes support them. Wisconsin is blessed with abundant biodiversity. Located at the junction of the eastern deciduous forest, northern boreal forest and temperate grasslands, we have a wealth of species and natural communities.
Approximately 1,800 species of native plants and close to 700 species of native vertebrates have been identified in Wisconsin. In addition, there are thousands of species of non-vascular plants and invertebrates. These pages highlight the uncommon and rare species, natural communities, geological features and essential habitat areas throughout Wisconsin.
Students look at how the public is perceiving the topic of biotechnology by first reading through an article of a survery conducted in Europe. Then they create their own survey and must analyze the public perception of biotechnology in their own community. The final product will be a poster that graphically demonstrates the data from their survey, which students present to the class.

Selecting and raising a pupple can be a big challenge. Use the attach chart with the puppy 101 clips on youtube.
Quizizz can be used as a game-based formative assessment tool. Students love quizizz because of the avatars, leaderboards, themes, and music. As an educator, after students take the quiz you are provided with detailed class data. This data may be used to change or modify your instruction. Quizzizz works on any device and is available as an iOS or Chrome app.
During a unit on recycling the students are challenged to find ways to reuse items they throw away to create useful products they can use at home. The students create a product and then they create an infomercial to sell their product. The student needs to consider what materials they used, how they are helping the environment by reusing trash, and they need to be creative. The students present their infomericals to the rest of the class who represent a banking and investing group that evaluates the product and then determines if they would invest in it or not. The students can make a video, slideshow or present face-to-face for this project. The students are given instructions, a rubric and the banking and investing company evaluation sheet for this project.
This movie shows red-necked phalarope feeding behavior. The phalarope, indigenous to western North America, swims in circles to create a vortex to bring small crustaceans to the surface. The bird then uses its beak to draw food-rich water into its mouth, but until now, no one knew how. Using a mechanical model of the phalarope beak, researchers at MIT and their colleagues from Ecole Polytechnique in Paris recently discovered how the birds use surface interactions between their beaks and the water droplets to propel bits of food from beak tip to mouth
Students learn about restriction enzymes and how they work through this lesson. First they will use an interactive website to see how the restriction enzymes locate their cut sites on the DNA and then actually cut the DNA, so it can be combined with other DNA to make a recombinant organism. Then they use two additional worksheets to practice ¨cutting DNA¨ on paper. Then they conduct the Restriction Enzyme Activity, where they write out a DNA strand on paper and physically cut the DNA using scissors to create their own recombinant strand of DNA.

This lesson plan is to help teachers implement SAEs into their Agricultural Education curriculum. The main goal of the lesson is to explain to students what an SAE is and why it is an important part of Agricultural Education and the 3-circle model. This lesson will help teachers introduce their students to SAE projects. This is a basic level lesson to help the teacher and students get SAEs started in their classroom. I would highly recommend visiting The National Council’s SAE page at ffa.org prior to teaching this lesson.
As state and local education agencies increasingly focus on serving educators with their data systems, a common challenge has arisen: identifying the critical knowledge and skills needed by teachers and administrators to use data effectively. Many states are creating data literacy and data use training programs for pre- and in-service educators without a common foundation on which to base the content. In addition, several state education agencies and educator preparation programs have begun communicating about how to create a stronger alignment between pre- and in-service training for educators regarding data use.

A key component of wildlife management is understanding the impact that humans have on their surrounding environment. In this activity students will begin to explore the human impacts that their school yard is experiencing from air, soil, and water pollution.
