What is Tug-of-War with Grain?
Tug-of-War with Grain is an exciting new series of four 30-minute activities for middle school and high school-aged youth. The activities help students strengthen critical thinking skills and see math and science concepts at work in their daily lives.This new curriculum was developed by ISU Extension with Farm Safety 4 Just Kids, an Iowa-based international farm safety organization.
Activities in the curriculum are designed to answer many real-world questions by applying scientific principles---such as force, resistance, pressure, velocity and friction---to a key farm danger, grain entrapment.
Lesson plans and other materials are included in a colorful and sturdy three-ring binder. Ideas for additional challenges sessions also are included.
