Plant Science Chapter #1

Curated and Reviewed by Lesson Planet

It may not stand as a cohesive presentation, but individually you may find a use for these slides. One slide describes how civilization began once man learned to plant and harvest food. Another explores the population growth over time. The eighth slide addresses ways we might be able to feed the growing population, and the ninth slide states ratios of farmers to numbers of people provided for. Examine each slide and choose which might support your agriculture curriculum.
