Wisconsin Academic Standard Connections

Farm Wisconsin field trips are designed to align with Wisconsin Academic Standards. Each hands-on experience connects classroom learning to real-world agriculture, making it easy to integrate your visit into required curriculum goals. See the standards below for details.

 

Exhibit Experience

Science

  • SCI.CC2.m: Use cause and effect relationships to predict phenomena in natural or designed systems.
  • SCI.CC4.3-5: Understand a system is a group of related parts that make up a whole and can carry out functions its individual parts cannot.
  • SCI.SEP2.3-5: Develop and/or use models to describe or predict phenomena.
  • SCI.SEP4.m: Use graphical displays of large data sets to identify temporal and spatial relationships.
  • SCI.SEP8.3-5: Read and comprehend grade-appropriate complex texts and other reliable media to summarize and obtain scientific and technical ideas, and describe how they are supported by evidence.
  • SCI.LS2.C.m: Ecosystem characteristics vary over time.
  • SCI.LS4.D.m: Changes in biodiversity can influence humans’ resources and ecosystem services they rely on.
  • SCI.ESS2.A.4: Rainfall helps to shape the land and affects the types of living things found in a region.
  • SCI.ESS3.A.h: Resource availability has guided the development of human society and use of natural resources has associated costs, risks, and benefits.
  • SCI.ESS3.C.5: Societal activities can also help protect Earth’s resources and environments.
  • SCI.ETS2.B.m: All human activity draws on natural resources and has both short- and long-term consequences, positive as well as negative, for the health of people and the natural environment.

Social Studies

  • SS.BH.4.a.h: Evaluate the purpose for which a technology is created and analyze the consequences.
  • SS.Econ.1.a.m: Assess how limited resources impact the choices of individuals, households, communities, busi­nesses, and countries.
  • SS.Econ.2.c.m: Categorize factors of production and how they are combined to make goods and deliver services.
  • SS.Geog.1.a.4-5: Summarize how location affects people, places, and environment.
  • SS.Geog.5.a.m: Analyze how technology interacts with the environment and how increased use of technology affects the burden and use of natural resources.

Birthing Barn

  • SCI.LS1.B.m: An organism’s growth is affected by both genetic and environmental factors.
  • SCI.LS1.C.5: Food provides animals with the materials and energy they need for body repair, growth, warmth, and motion.
  • SCI.ESS2.E.4: Living things can affect the physical characteristics of their environment.

Farm Tour

  • SCI.LS2.A.m: Organisms and populations are dependent on their environmental interactions both with other living things and with non-living factors, any of which can limit their growth.
  • SCI.ETS1.A.h: Humanity faces major global challenges today, such as the need for supplies of clean water and food or for energy sources that minimize pollution, which can be addressed through engineering.
