2017 Introduction to Agr. Industry – CO2 Dragsters

Students in the Introduction to the Agriculture Industry class conduct an engineering unit designing CO2 Dragsters and conducting time trials. Students use the data to calculate speed and acceleration of the dragsters in feet/second, miles/hour, centimeters/second, and kilometers/hour.

2016 Syringe Hydraulic Robot Project – Introduction to the Agriculture Industry

Work = Force x Distance

Power = Work / Time

Horsepower = power / 550 ft.-lbs. per second

Horsepower = power / 33000 ft.-lbs. per minute

2015 Sawhorse Project – Introduction to the Agriculture Industry

Students in Introduction to the Agriculture Industry class learn how to use hand and power tools safely and apply those concepts to construction of a pair of sawhorses using as many different tools  as possible in the process. Students also practice ruler measurement, bill of materials, and cutting lists for construction projects.
