STEM and Inquiry in Agriculture
Fun, hands-on activities to get students thinking and problem solving by carrying out STEM and inquiry challenges with connections to agriculture.
Football and Agriculture
Do you know all the ways football and agriculture are connected? The truth is, without agriculture, there would be no football at all!
Football and agriculture are connected in so many ways, from the food we eat in the stands, to the jerseys worn by the players, to the ball itself! Illinois classroom teachers can request free copies of our Football and Agriculture poster from their County Ag Literacy Coordinator. To extend student learning, have them make their own Football Charms to wear to the Friday night game!
