FIELD TRIP: Agriculture Solutions 

Running Time: 8:19 

NGSS: HS-ETS1-1 

Ride along in the farming combine during corn harvest season with VVR Host, Steve Grubbs, and Farmer Rick Kimberely. See how the modernization of farm equipment allows for higher crop yields that are also more efficient and environmentally friendly. While on the farm also learn about the purpose of GMOs and how prevalent they are in more food production. For more information on Iowa farming, please visit here.

INTERACTIVE EXPERIENCE : GMO Cafe 

Running Time: Self-paced*

As students partake in this unique interactive dining experience they are presented a menu filled with special, yet common foods to most teenage palates. Each element of the cuisine is derived from genetically modified organisms to some degree. Students select a meal based on their tastes and when it’s presented at their table, information about each GMO-influenced ingredient pops up to satiate their thirst for learning about this topic. If time allows, students can continue to order  meals until they’ve exhausted all menu options.
