Living with the Land

Living with the Land is designed for use by form 1 and 2 students in science and social studies.

It introduces the concept of caring for the land and examines the factors a farmer must consider when deciding what crop to grow or animal to farm.

The roles of soil, water and climate are examined. Students investigate a specific agricultural product to understand product development, processing and the application of technology, for example, apples and wheat.
