Agriculture & Soil Chemistry CTE CP 407310

BCHS, LHS, Physical Agriscience
THS 10-12 10 Y Science D N Capstone
Offered At Grades Credits College Credit Pre/Co-Req AP/H Grad Req A-G Repeatable CTE Pathway

This course explores the physical and chemical nature of soil as well as the relationships between soil, plants, animals and agricultural
practices. Students will examine properties of soil and land and their connections to plant and animal production. Using knowledge
of scientific protocols as well as course content, students will develop an Agriscience research program to be conducted throughout
the first semester of the course. To complete that whole project each student will investigate and test an Agriscience research question
by formulating a scientific question related to the course content, formulating a hypothesis based on related research, conducting an
experiment to test the hypothesis, collecting quantitative data, and forming a conclusion based on analysis of the data. The result of
this research program will be an in depth research and experimentation paper that is technically written, based on scientific a protocol,
and cited using APA formatting. Additionally, students will develop and present a capstone soil management plan for agricultural
producers, using the content learned throughout the course. Throughout the course, students will be graded on participation in intra-
curricular FFA activities, as well as the development and maintenance of an ongoing Supervised Agricultural Experience (SAE) program.
These requirements may vary by site. Only students in Ag Science pathway courses are eligible for this course.
