  • Join to access all included materials

After reading an article about how agritourism is helping boost the financial stability of local farms, middle schoolers answer comprehension questions. This is a case-study of Canadian pumpkin producers. It could be useful as a introduction to research on other forms of agribusiness in a science class. Teach this in the autumn and follow it up with a trip to the nearest pumpkin patch!
