Addressing Misconceptions About Agriculture DVD & Teacher's Guide

Have you always known that many of the derogatory claims made against modern agricultural practices are not sound? Are you ready to challenge many of the misconceptions people hold about agriculture, but have not had the time to research the issues yourself? This instruction kit will help you do just that with sound, science-based factual information. We’ve done the research for you. The kit’s 35 issues cover topics from DDT to global food issues and nutrition to animal production. The kit comes complete with an 11- page lesson plan, background information on each issue, three sets of student cards, and a CD ROM containing two PowerPoint presentations. The well-researched issues are supported with five pages of references. References listed are easily available to any audience member or student ready to challenge the presentations. The kit is designed for classroom use at the high school and college level. Demand for this presentation has led us to also create an 18-issue speech version that can be presented in a half hour to 45 minutes. Both versions are included in the kit.
