Agriscience II (0013347) 1/180 Agriscience II provides students with basic knowledge of agriculture and science applications in agriculture. This course includes units in animal science, soil science, plant science, agricultural mechanics, and agricultural leadership. Mathematics, science, English, biology, and human relations skills will be reinforced in the course. Work-based learning strategies appropriate for this course are school-based enterprises, field trips, and internships. Supervised Agricultural Experience (SAE) programs and the FFA leadership activities are integral components of the course and provide many opportunities for practical application of instructional competencies. Prerequisite: Agriscience I n Credits: 1
