This task was developed by high school and postsecondary mathematics and agriculture sciences educators, and validated by content experts in the Common Core State Standards in mathematics and the National Career Clusters Knowledge & Skills Statements. It was developed with the purpose of demonstrating how the Common Core and CTE Knowledge & Skills Statements can be integrated into classroom learning - and to provide classroom teachers with a truly authentic task for either mathematics or CTE courses.

This resource is a colorful inforgraphic stating the facts about the earth's resources and what is needed of it to feed the population in the future.

This video story highlights microbiologist Aindrila Mukhopadhyay of the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, whose work involves investigating the most effective ways to use microbes to convert plants into biofuels. Accompanying the video are pre-viewing questions, focus questions for viewing, post-viewing questions, an extension activity for students, and links to related resources.

WIth this resource, students will learn about Biomedical Research as well as how to get a career in that field.

This resource is information on the Cattle and Beef Industry from the United States Department of Agriculture. This article discusses the background of the Cattle and Beef Industry.

In this lesson plan from the Utah Education Network, students will collect samples and bring them to school to look at underneath the microscope. They will keep a journal of their observations and drawings and summarize their findings. A student worksheet is included.

Students will become familiar with a cell by clicking on different cell organelles and reading about their structure and function. Please note flash must be enabled on your browers to use this resource.

This short video lesson examines the parts of a cell and how they work together to defend against invaders such as the cold virus. Assessment and discussion questions, as well as links to additional resources, are included.

In this lesson students will learn about the five types of nutrients and their purposes. This lesson will also cover symptoms of nutritional deficiencies in livestock. I divide this lesson into two class periods. On the first day we talk about nutrients and the second day we talk about the importance of nutrients for body functions such as growth, reproduction, and maintenance. At the end, students will have to pass a quiz that covers most of the main information taught during these lessons as a means to exhibit proficient comprehension of the information and its importance.

In this lesson plan, students learn about the structure and purpose of clinical trials by simulating three phases of a trial using colored beads to represent a local population that could be involved in research. Students will also be introduced to elements of study design for clinical trials such as the use of placebos, randomization and blinded studies.

Students explore a list of myths about cloning as well as explain why they are myths.

Students learn that cloning is nothing new. It's scientific history spans more than 100 years.

Students learn information on cloning including how it is done, how it differs from natural cloning and comparing cloning an organism to cloning a gene,

In this lesson plan from the Utah Education Network, students will use pictures of organisms and their offspring to compare inheritance between offspring of sexual and asexual reproduction. The lesson includes pictures and a student sheet.

With prior knowledge of food and organic matter decomposition, students will use industry and extension publications to learn the processes of composting, as well as the benefits and challenges of compost production (available nutrient levels, community perceptions, hazardous materials, smell, and storage).

This resource is a colorful inforgraphic on the benefits of biotech crops. The infographic gives students details on increased crop productivity, conserving biodiversity, reducing agriculture's eco-foodprint and mitigating climate change.

This short video lesson examines the zebrafish's amazing regenerative retinas and explores the question of whether blind eyes could possibly regenerate. Assessment and discussion questions, as well as links to additional resources, are included.
