The What’s the BEEF with Agriculture? Exploring sustainability through beef and dairy production PBL was created in a partnership between CSU Agricultural Education’s CAM’s Agriculture Academy and CSU Animal Science’s Ag Next programs. We would like to thank the Ag Next team and their researchers for ensuring the validity of this curriculum. 

Funding for the What’s the BEEF with agriculture? Exploring sustainability through beef and dairy production PBL was made possible through a gift from the Morgridge Family Foundation. We thank the Morgridge Family for their generosity and commitment to Agricultural Education.

The framework of the CAM’s PBL lesson plan model is derived from the 5E model of instruction developed by Rodger Bybee.
