Adv. Ag Mechanics Curriculum

This year, I will be teaching Advanced Agricultural Mechanics for the first time. I have an older curriculum on file, but want to see what curriculum other agricultural programs use. Which topics do you cover? How do you assess the students? I really want to incorporate student projects but also cover topics that were not covered in my… (Show more Show less)

Farm Power First Year Teacher

Hello! I am a first year teacher teaching Farm Power, which is a brand new course for our school. I am in need of general resources such as worksheets and lab ideas (engine disassembly/assembly, calibrations, hydraulics, etc.) that are practical for a beginning program if anyone is willing to share. I have lots of stuff for small engines, but not… (Show more Show less)

Hello! I ended up doing some STEM stuff with them for hydraulics, speed calculations, and gear ratios, but am definitely still looking for things to do with them. Our dynamic is difficult because our school farm is not on campus, but we do finally have one super old tractor that we can do basic driving skills with. I'm thinking of maybe doing…

Briggs and Stratton

So... we just got new Briggs engines. They are OHV 09P702 push mower engines. Does anyone have a teardown script for taking these down? We used to have the old flathead pushmower engines and we need just a tiny bit of support (and I need to freshen up on them) before we go to turning wrenches!

Does anyone have a final picture of the sprinkler? I'm having trouble "seeing" what it would look like.

Rafter Project Instructions

I just give the students this packet and let them teach themselves. I give different dimensions to each students so that one student does not finish the rafter and then have their classmates trace it.

Electrical Wiring Diagrams.pptx

Looking for wiring diagrams to help teach it? Here you go! I created these to help my Ag Mech 1 students help visualize the circuit boards a little easier. They are quicker at transferring the knowledge to learn to read industry blueprints, too.
