In this lesson, students reflect on challenges that face farmers in cultivating crops, including insects. They then simulate how crops are affected by native and non-native insect populations and the options farmers have to protect their crops. Finally, students create an agricultural plan from the perspective of a farmer.
This activity is correlated with National Science and Geography content standards.
