Eisenhower Elementary School will host the Mobile Ag Ed Science Lab from March 2nd-March 6, 2015. The Lab is provided by the PA Friends of Ag Foundation and travels with a certified teacher to different schools around the state.
The science curriculum taught meets Pennsylvania Department of Education Science & Technology and Environment & Ecology Standards and is endorsed by the Pennsylvania Department of Agriculture. The children perform hands-on science experiments, each teaching a lesson in agriculture. The experiments performed include equipment and supplies not readily available to classroom teachers and are of a nature that most teachers wouldn't want to tackle in a traditional classroom setting. Each science experiment is designed to emphasize a different aspect of agriculture, including Pennsylvania's primary commodities, the environment, biotechnology, food and fiber, etc… Children work cooperatively to solve a problem as they form a hypothesis, collect data and draw conclusions.
To move forward, the district must approve the attached contract and coordinate with the Foundation on schedule and training (if necessary). District staff must be available when the Lab is delivered, and present while students are in the Lab. The district must provide adequate site access, as well as electrical/water hook-ups. The Lab Ag teacher must also have access to the building.
