Lesson Plan

Dealing with difficult issues and making decisions are important concepts to study, and yet, tackling complicated issues such as agricultural pesticide use can cause stress and confusion if you, as a teacher, are unsure of the questions asked and the research presented. To support teachers of Science, Geography, and Food & Nutrition, this resource contains recommended lessons, suggests websites, and provides activities and informative articles, to help students examine all sides of the pesticide issue. It is intended that through discussions, debates, teamwork and individual research, the learner will gain increased, accurate knowledge about the topic and a better understanding about recognizing choices and appreciating differences. Ultimately students will form personal, fully informed opinions about agricultural pesticide use.
