Dish Garden Activity Guide
Air Plants Activity Guide: Epiphytes (pronounced ep-uh-fight) are a group of plants known as air plants. Tillandsias is the scientific genus of this special group of plants. Air plants grow upon other plants or objects for physical support. While they have roots, they do not use those roots to get nutrients from the soil.
Air Plants Activity Guide
Terrarium Activity Guide: A terrarium is a collection of small, decorative plants growing in an enclosed environment. Terrarium containers are typically transparent and provide an opening big enough to allow the gardener to access the plants inside. Because the container is enclosed, moister becomes trapped inside.
Terrarium Activity Guide
Seed Starter Activity Guide: Growing plants from seeds can be a fun and rewarding experience! Many times, gardeners begin their seeds in small containers before transplanting the seeds into larger pots.
Seed Starter Activity Guide
Looking at Logs Activity Guide: A fallen log in the forest may seem boring, but take a closer look! When plants die, their nutrients are recycled back into the environment. This process is known as decomposition. Organisms such as fungi, bacteria, and insects all help with decomposition.
Looking at Logs Activity Guide
Creative Creatures: Most animal species have developed some sort of natural camouflage that helps them survive. Sometimes camouflage allows the animal to be a better predator, hiding from its prey. Other times, it helps the animal not become prey for a predator.
Creative Creatures

While sight is probably the most common sense used to learn about the natural world, people can also smell, touch, and listen to the natural world. Through this activity, youth will get the opportunity to use these senses in an outdoor setting.
Nature Observations Activity Guide
Dig It Activity Guide: Have you ever taken time to look at see what’s in the soil? Soil is composed of minerals (45%), water (25%), air (25%), and organic matter (5%). Taking time to see what is in soil sharpens observation skills and builds a greater appreciation for natural resources.
Dig It Activity Guide

AGRICULTURE RESOURCES
Ag in the Classroom: Agriculture is Georgia’s largest industry. It is an important component of the state’s economy and provides one in seven jobs in agriculturally related fields. However, less than 2% of the population actually lives on the farm and few people have any knowledge of how the food and fiber system works to provide us with food, clothing and shelter. The purpose of the Georgia Agriculture in the Classroom is to increase agricultural literacy among children and the general public. It provides tools for more effective teaching about agriculture and its role in an interdependent society, and to assist Georgia ’s educators in implementing the instruction of agriculture-related concepts in the classroom. This mission is achieved through the activities of county Farm Bureau volunteers in their local communities and through teacher training courses held throughout the state.
http://www.gfbfoundation.org/aitc.html
Farm Credit Knowledge Center: Welcome to the Educator Resources section of the Knowledge Center. As a networking agent, it is our goal to help share information about agriculture with a wide variety of audiences.
