As the school year begins to wind down and summer approaches, it’s a great time for students and families to continue learning outside the classroom, especially about agriculture. The Iowa Agriculture Literacy Foundation offers a wide range of free resources at www.iowaagliteracy.org, including hands-on experiments, virtual lessons, interactive activities, and reading materials that help connect agriculture to science, social studies, and literacy. These tools are perfect for keeping kids engaged while teaching them about the importance of farming, food production, and the environment.

In addition to IALF, there are several other great websites that provide fun and educational ag-based content. Check out www.myamericanfarm.org for interactive games, www.agclassroom.org for national Ag in the Classroom resources, and www.pbslearningmedia.org for kid-friendly videos and lessons tied to agricultural topics. Whether you’re a teacher looking to extend learning or a parent searching for meaningful summer activities, these sites offer plenty of opportunities to explore the world of agriculture together.
