Abstract	This curriculum guide, which is intended for middle school agriculture teachers in Virginia, outlines a three-course competency-based agriscience program to give middle school students an understanding of basic science concepts through agriculture. The guide begins with a program description that includes descriptions of the program's three courses for students in grades 6, 7, and 8. The courses cover the following topics: agriscience (agriculture, plant and animal life cycles, communication with others, agricultural mechanics technology, ecology and conservation, career opportunities in agriculture); agriscience exploration (importance of agriculture/agriscience, conserving natural resources, research in agriculture, plant science, animal science, basic laboratory skills, personal development); and agriscience and technology (new technologies in agriculture/agriscience, international agriculture, agricultural businesses, microcomputers in agriculture, supervised agricultural experiences, hand tools and agricultural power equipment, leadership skills, and experimentation in agriculture). Suggested duty areas and tasks/competencies for each course are listed. Presented next (and constituting approximately 60% of the guide) are detailed matrices in which language arts, mathematics, and science standards of learning are cross-referenced to the competencies/tasks covered in each of the courses and their suggested duty areas. Concluding the guide is a 26-item list of suggested agriscience education resources. (MN)
