Middle School Science Minute

Agriculture Literacy
I was recently reading the July, 2019 issue of “Science Scope,” a magazine written for middle school science teachers, published by the National Science Teachers Association.
In this issue, I read the section “From the Editor’s Desk” written by Patty McGinnis. She wrote an article entitled, “Developing ag Literacy.” Patty states that “Whether or not you live on a farm or in a farming community, agriculture is a topic that is integral to our lives.”
