SCIENTIFIC INVESTIGATION IN AGRICULTURE!

COMMON CORE/NEXT GENERATION SCIENCE STANDARDS ADDRESSED  CCSS.ELA-Literacy.RH Analyze in detail a series of events described in a text; determine whether earlier events caused later ones or simply preceded them.  CCSS.ELA-Literacy.RH Determine the meaning of words and phrases as they are used in a text, including vocabulary describing political, social, or economic aspects of history/social science.  HS-LS Evaluate the claims, evidence, and reasoning that the complex interactions in ecosystems maintain relatively consistent numbers and types of organisms in stable conditions, but changing conditions may result in a new ecosystem. [Clarification Statement: Examples of changes in ecosystem conditions could include modest biological or physical changes, such as moderate hunting or a seasonal flood; and extreme changes, such as volcanic eruption or sea level rise.

BELL WORK 1. How has the science of agriculture helped develop civilization? 2. Identify 4 areas of agriscience. 3. List 4 advancements made through agriscience.

STUDENT LEARNING OBJECTIVES.  1. Explain how the science of agriculture helped develop civilization. 2. Identify and define the various areas of science and agriscience. 3. Discuss advancements made through agriscience.

HOW HAS THE SCIENCE OF AGRICULTURE HELPED DEVELOP CIVILIZATION?  The science of agriculture is the basis on which all of civilization is built.  Before humans began to devise ways to produce their own food, most of their lives were devoted to finding enough to eat.

AGRICULTURE. THE VERY FIRST SCIENCE  Science is knowledge obtained through a systematic study of naturally occurring phenomena.  The first systematic study by humans was probably devising ways to obtain food, clothing, and shelter. WHEN DID IT START?  Most anthropologists agree that agriculture began about 10,000 years ago in what is now known as the Middle East

HUMANS BEGAN TO SEARCH FOR BETTER WAYS TO PRODUCE FOOD.  Better ways were discovered through trial and error and passed down from parents to children.  All modern agricultural crops and livestock were developed from the plants and animals tamed and cultured by early humans.  Because food could be obtained through trading, time was spent developing skills in building, engineering, literature, and art that led to the great civilizations.

NECESSITY AROSE TO INVENT IMPLEMENTS TO TILL THE SOIL.  The first tools were very crude and made of wood or stone. These tools later evolved into metal implements.  Tools made growing crops and animals more efficient, the more time people had to work on inventing and making more tools.

SCIENTISTS ALSO BELIEVE THAT COUNTING AND WRITING DEVELOPED FROM AGRICULTURE.  People began to harvest crops and had surplus left over - bins and storage areas were built.  To indicate ownership, contents, and the amount in the containers, a system of markings was developed.  More and more containers had to be marked, a system of written language developed.  This allowed the expansion of trade and barter so that the excess food could be traded to other people.

RESEARCH  Basic research investigates why or how processes occur in plants and animals.  Applied research uses the discoveries made in basic research to help in practical ways.  Both types of research take place in all aspects of science.

A. FOUR MAJOR AREAS OF SCIENCE  1. mathematics  2. physical science  3. life science  4. social science.

MATHEMATICS  Mathematics is the science of numbers.  It is important because it involves making and using observations.  Mathematics deals with how numbers can be measured and changed.

A. ARITHMETIC—THIS IS THE STUDY OF NUMBERS AND METHODS OF CALCULATING. B. GEOMETRY—THIS IS A PRACTICAL AREA OF MATHEMATICS. IT INVOLVES SHOWING MATHEMATICAL RELATIONSHIPS OF POINTS, LINES, ANGLES, SURFACES, AND SOLIDS. C. MATHEMATICS HAS SEVERAL OTHER BRANCHES. SOME OF THESE INCLUDE: LOGIC, ALGEBRA, CALCULUS, PROBABILITY, AND STATISTICS.

2. PHYSICAL SCIENCE IS THE STUDY OF NONLIVING MATTER AROUND US.

a.Earth science is the study of the environment in which plants and animals grow. This includes soil, water, and the atmosphere. Earth science also has several major sections. b. Geology is the study of the earth’s composition, structure, and history. Study of the soil is a part of geology that is important in agriscience. c. Meteorology is the study of the earth’s atmosphere. It includes studying the weather and making predictions. d. Other important areas of physical science are: hydrology, oceanography, and astronomy

3. CHEMISTRY  is the study of the makeup of materials or matter. Matter is anything that occupies space and has mass.

4. PHYSICS.  Is the study of the physical nature of objects.  Areas of physics include the study of heat, light, electricity, and mechanics

5. LIFE SCIENCE  Is the study of living things. It is sometimes called the biological science of biology.

MAJOR AREAS OF LIFE SCIENCE ARE: a. Botany is the study of plants. b. Zoology is the study of animals.

6. SOCIAL SCIENCE  Deals with human society.  Known as behavioral science. anthropology, psychology, sociology, education.

B. AGRISCIENCE  Is made up of several areas of applied science.  Relate to the organization of the agricultural industry and the crops and livestock that are produced.

AGRISCIENCE INCLUDES:  1. Agronomy deals with the study of plants and how they relate to the soil. Its purpose is to improve crop production and conserve natural resources

2. HORTICULTURE IS THE SCIENCE OF GROWING PLANTS FOR FOOD, COMFORT, AND BEAUTY. THE DIVISIONS OF HORTICULTURE ARE:  a. Ornamental horticulture is growing and using plants for their beauty. b. Olericulture deals with growing vegetables. c. Pomology includes fruit and nut production, harvesting, and marketing.

3. FORESTRY IS THE SCIENCE OF GROWING AND USING FORESTS.

4. ENTOMOLOGY IS THE BRANCH OF ZOOLOGY THAT DEALS WITH INSECTS AND RELATED SMALL ANIMALS.

5. ANIMAL SCIENCE IS THE AREA DEALING WITH THE PRODUCTION OF ANIMALS FOR FOOD.

6. POULTRY SCIENCE IS CONCERNED WITH RAISING CHICKENS AND RELATED FOWL.

7. AQUACULTURE IS THE SCIENCE OF WATER FARMING.

8. ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCE INVOLVES WAYS OF WISELY USING AND PROTECTING THE THINGS AROUND US.

9. MECHANICAL TECHNOLOGY IS THE USE OF MACHINES AND EQUIPMENT TO DO WORK.

WHAT ADVANCEMENTS HAVE BEEN MADE THROUGH AGRISCIENCE?  III. There have been several important discoveries made through agri-science research. Each has impacted people in a very significant way. Some of these discoveries are:

A.GENETICALLY ENGINEERED TOMATO  Calgene, an agricultural biotechnology firm in Davis, CA., developed a bio-engineered tomato that resists rotting.  new tomato was developed by turning off the gene that caused the tomato to soften and rot.  lasts longer on the shelf at the grocery store,  retains its flavor longer,  tastes like a tomato should taste.

B. BIO-DIESEL FROM ANIMAL FAT  Excess animal fat that is trimmed from the carcasses of meat animals is a low-value by-product of the meat processing industry.  A process has been developed that converts fat to bio-diesel, a product very much like the diesel fuel extracted from crude oil.

THE END!
