Task: Using your classroom assignments AND notes on the different Peterson Farm Brother month clips,
respond to the 5 following course outcomes below. (10 marks each = 50 marks)
The format is of your choosing – written paragraphs, report, PowerPoint, Prezi, poster board, etc…
Outcomes/Assessment
Outcomes to be assessed:
-
S2-KL-021 Identify physical conditions required to produce major food crops.
Examples: topography, soil, climate, water...
S2-KL-022 Explain ways in which natural- and human-caused phenomena affect food production. Examples:
Severe/unpredictable weather condition (flooding), climate change, human contamination, pesticides, fertilizers etc….
S2-KL-023 Describe the impact of various SUSTAINABLE agricultural practices on the physical environment. Examples:
practices that help reduce soil erosion, water erosion, soil infertility...
S2-KE-044 Identify the stages involved in food production and distribution
S2-KH-034 Give examples of ways in which food production has changed over time
1) S2-KL-021 Identify the physical conditions required to produce major successful food/farming
crops.
Examples: topography, soil, climate, water...
