After reading an informational text on the Agricultural Research Service, learners research the role of the ARS in Oklahoma. Using reputable online sources, they label a map of the state with relevant areas. Researchers focus on one of the three major areas of focus for the ARS, creating a research project and visual. They choose one of six engaging ways to synthesize their research creatively, or can choose to make up a seventh approach.
