Kelly Woods, Traci Missun
4-H Science, Engineering, and Technology Core Curriculum
Master Gardener
Youth will learn scientific research techniques, responsible practices and innovative technologies that positively address science, engineering and technology issues in Kentucky and globally. Through the Land Grant University and Extension system, 4-H can expand its impact and extend its reach in science, engineering and technology (4-H SET) by providing opportunities for hands-on scientific learning and discovery in 4-H clubs.
Youth will utilize the scientific method to solve problems in their daily life.
Master Gardener volunteers will educate others about using research-based science to make decisions about agriculture and food production.
Youth will demonstrate and share new abilities in science, engineering and technology with others.
Master Gardeners will demonstrate understanding of the scientific method for testing theories and arriving at conclusions.
Youth will increase interest and engagement in 4-H science, engineering and technology. Youth learn new skills in 4-H science, engineering and technology programs.
Master Gardeners will increase understanding of scientific methods used in agriculture research.
