    March , is National Teach Ag Day!National Teach Ag Day is a campaign to encourage agricultural

    education advocates, especially current agricultural educators

    (middle school, high school, post-secondary, pre-service programs,

    etc.) to share with others the great career opportunities in

    agricultural education and encourage them to consider careers

    as agricultural educators. It is also a day to recognize the

    contributions of current agricultural educators.

    ANIMAL SCIENCE

    Exploring Animal ScienceFrank Flanders

    Exploring Animal Scienceoffers educators the perect tool or teaching animal agriculture: one that

    balances the academic background critical to building a strong oundation in undamental science with

    the practical, production-oriented content vital to work in the real world. Its coverage spans a varietyo areas like nutrition, anatomy and physiology, biotechnology, biosecurity, and genetics and animal

    reproduction. Each topic is presented in a straightorward manner that first investigates the basics, and

    then delves urther into its practical application to the production, care, and management o animal

    agriculture. Ideal or a range o students, rom late middle school to early high school, this unique

    approach is sure to engage by drawing such powerul connections between academics and real-lie

    animal-based scenarios and situations. It also includes a wide range o activities that will fit any animal

    science classroom, making it an appealing choice or teachers and students alike.

    KEY FEATURES Offers truly comprehensive content by including ofen neglected subjects such as animal selection

    and fitting and showing, as well as chapters on companion and exotic animals that provide valuableinormation or those without access to livestock.

    Clarifies key concepts with rich, detailed illustrations that will aid in learning, in an attempt toaddress the challenges aced by teachers today, who may have limited access to animals andsignificant restrictions on field trips.

    Reinorces the connections between academics and the real world with useul sidebars, such as Did-You-Know, Science Connection, Biology Connection, and History Connection, just to name a ew.

    Facilitates learning with easy-to-understand scientific explanations that always keep the learner in mind.
