Part of our new Living Roots Agriculture and Natural Resources program! Interactive opportunities resulting in local agriculture and natural resources. During this year long class, we will be covering various topics related to animal products, farm to table, forestry, wildlife management, ecology, and stewardship. Students will be responsible for completing supervised agricultural experiences (SAE) resulting in personal growth of initiative, accountability, and leadership. For this elementary level class SAE projects will be completed during in class time. Students and parents can look forward to four Friday/or Saturday field-trips, in-class guest speakers and producing tangible goods. Parents will be responsible for collaborating with their student to complete at home expectations.

Fall 2023
Science
- Agriculture
Schedule:
Tuesday - Science Lab - 127: 12:00 pm - 12:50 pm
Description:
Rope-making, knots, and lashing are among mankind’s oldest technologies. We will be learning basic and advanced knots, how knots work (and how they fail), and application. What knot is best used in a specific situation? What knots should be avoided in situations where failure can mean your life?
Lashing involves using rope and knots to assemble structures. We will start with simple structures like tripods and move to bridges and trebuchets and such later in the semester as time and student skill warrant.
We will be using a variety of resources (mainly animatedknots.com and The Ashley Book of Knots) for this class which will be listed in the class syllabus. Students will be using sharp knives and marlinspikes. The only homework will be practicing the learned knots as applicable in a home/farm setting. We should be able to thoroughly cover the basics, practice repeatedly, and learn multiple applications for knots. Time permitting, we may also look at various ways to lace and tie shoes, tie ties, and possibly make some rope with simple rope-making techniques. For the spring term, there will be a continuing Knots and Lashing class to further learn about knots.
