Discovery Agriculture
Year 7-8
The goal of this course is to provide 8th grade students with an introduction to agricultural leadership, FFA, and agricultural sciences. Students will gain leadership skills by developing work ethic, communication, critical thinking, and team building skills. This also reinforces the FFA mission statement of promoting “premier leadership, personal growth, and career success through agricultural education”. 8th grade students will build an introductory knowledge base for the Horticulture/Plant Science, Forestry/ Natural Resources, and Animal Science Pathways. Students will have the opportunity to gain skills and knowledge through classroom and laboratory instruction that will not only advance them in the upper level agricultural classes but in life itself. Additionally, classroom and laboratory activities will be supplemented through supervised agricultural experiences and leadership programs and activities. This pre-pathway will also provide a foundation for students to explore career possibilities related to the area of agriscience in which they are interested in.
