Dublin Jerome High School teacher Chuck Crawford’s students are gaining agricultural understanding as part of their AP Environmental Science coursework. Crawford’s lessons are available on the GrowNextGen website. The students begin by reading about the science and engineering required to understand what farmers have to consider as they produce crops. Later, students conduct a real-life simulation, going through a decision-making process to determine the application of chemicals to a fictional farm while addressing the needs of controlling specific nuisance weeds. Students take a position on the application of chemicals to a field and defend their statement.
