A level resources

The Agriculture & Horticulture Development Board (AHDB) and LEAF Education have teamed up to bring a suite of 8 Exam specification A level resources to life, linking back to food production and farming. The resources are designed to be used by teachers in school to aid with curriculum links, real life examples and interlinking with pre-existing subject matter.

Each resource will take between 40 -60 minutes classroom time to deliver, with additional fieldwork time.

Each pack contains:

Teacher notes
Accompanying PowerPoint
Student activity sheet(s)

Some resources have adapted field studies, that can be used on a field trip to a farm, to aid the learning experience.
All resources have been trialled and tested by teachers, both in the classroom and out on farm!
Teacher and Farmer CPD, alongside hard copies to order coming soon!
