Ag teachers,

        I have created worksheets for all the videos that I use in class
and I would be happy to share them with you.  If you are interested,
please send me an email and I will forward you a copy of the student
video sheet and the teacher answer sheet.

        I try to use a variety of video/DVD materials in my classroom to
enhance instruction.  While I do not use all these videos, all the time,
or even in their entirety – I have found that they usually stimulate
good classroom discussions with my students.  Also, rather than spending
an entire class period on a video, sometimes we watch a video over a
period of several days.

FEATURED VIDEO/DVD:

Farming the Seas  (2004) – This PBS video takes an international view of
the developing aquaculture industry.  This viewer was surprised to learn
of some of the drawbacks.  Included are: Salmon, Bluefin tuna, Fishmeal
in aquaculture, Shrimp farms, Herbivorous fish and mollusks, and
offshore aquaculture. The documentary touches on a variety of issues
related to aquaculture, including: antibiotics, sustainable aquaculture,
artificial colorants, disease and parasite transfer, effluent
management, escapes, food security and safety, impacts on surrounding
communities, and transgenic fish.

Reviews from PBS.org
“An ever-increasing demand for seafood, combined with technical advance
that now power the international fishing fleet, have precipitated a
global marine fisheries crisis…Farming the Seas examines the problems,
progress and potential of the global aquaculture industry…Fish farming
has become the fastest-growing food-production industry in the world and
several approaches are being developed, some of which are generating
controversy and debate.”

You may purchase a DVD of Farming The Seas  through Habitat Media.  It
is $ 32.98.  Here is a link:
