Agriculture / Horticulture
(2009)    Agricultural and horticultural science.    These resources should be viewed as ‘work-in- progress’, not as finished units to download and use.   They demonstrate a range of ways of thinking about how you might build the ‘front end’ of the NZ Curriculum (the Vision, Principles, Values, Key Competencies, Effective Pedagogies and Learning Area Statements) into your existing units of work, by re-focusing how you teach rather than changing what you teach.
