Lead Ag Teacher Sue Pratt enjoyed working with science teachers at the SA Science Teachers Association State Conference where she ran a workshop with the theme of “connections, context and curiosity through food and fibre”.

Focusing on grain, sheep, poultry and dairy, Sue showcased how these industries provide the engaging, real-world context for key science concepts like science inquiry skills and science as a human endeavour, as well as resources, industry contacts and career information.

Great to see new LAT newsletter subscriptions from this workshop and an enthusiastic group of teachers keen to share what they have learned with their science students.

Like to know more? Contact Sue as she would love to help your school inspire your students through food and fibre.
