THE MANY HATS OF AGRICULTURE MYSTERY THEATER 4th grade

Through hands-on art and creative dramatics, this two-hour classroom activity provides 4th graders with an introduction to Ohio’s big business of agriculture. Children (and their families) are introduced to over 30 careers related to agribusiness, and agricultural products. This program was developed with an eye toward creating an engaging opportunity for children to begin to understand the importance of agribusiness in Ohio, and at the same time reinforce concepts found on the 4th grade proficiency tests.
