AGRICULTURE - The soil and farming chemicals: G. Slides + Critical Thinking task

Planning your AGRICULTURE lesson? Then this bundle is a great and complete solution!!! In order to understand how food is produced, students need to undersand the structure of the soil and the chemicals which are applied in farming to increase the yields (herbicides, pesticides, fertilizers). But producing food massively brings many environmental changes!
This bundle includes:

• EDITABLE GOOGLE SLIDES ABOUT SOIL STRUCTURE: Great slides about the SOIL STRUCTURE: what the soil is, its main components and structure, as well as the importance of organic matter and the role of the pH.

Content: Potential risks of agriculture; soil components; types of mineral particles; importance of organic matter and minerals; soil pH.
• EDITABLE GOOGLE SLIDES ABOUT CHEMICALS APPLIED IN FARMING: Slides contain theory information, videos, great Simpon's gifs and activities for students to think and discuss in small groups. At the end, there is also a revision activity for kids to go over content in a critical way. Content: types of fertilizers and eutrophication. Herbicides and pesticides. Pest resistance. Bioaccumulation and biomagnification. Alternatives to chemical control. Crop rotation vs. monoculture.
• GREAT CRITICAL THINKING ACTIVITY: It includes a great and realistic context: "You are a well-recognized environmental manager who works for a private consulting company. You are hired by the state authorities of a rural city in order to make an environmental diagnosis of......" etc. Students are given 5 tasks to analyse and answer: Case 1 "James, the farmer"; Case 2 "The AgroTop 22 company"; Case 3 "Irrigation"; Case 4 "The lake"; Case 5 "Diagonsis and suggestions".

Let's make our students learn in an active way and think critically. Let's make them work as if they were environmental managers. Let's make them apply their knowledge and prepare them for the future!
