 Farming knowledge virtually; Mullen Elementary School teacher explores science at her farm
 |
|
Lynn Horton, science teacher at Mullen Elementary School, is taking students on virtual field trips at her farm. Horton records videos of lectures that align with curriculum standards and uploads the videos to YouTube for her students to watch.
To date, Horton has provided videos about raising chickens, maintaining horses, feeding snakes, birthing feral cats, and the natural resources present in a creek, all of which can be found on her working farm.
|
Horton’s lessons provide information about predators, prey, herbivores, carnivores, omnivores, erosion, weathering, and deposition.
Although the videos began as just a way for her students to watch the process of chickens hatching, Horton became inspired to broaden her topics.
“I knew there was more I could do,” explains Horton. “Because science is everywhere.”

Virtual beehive tour buzzes up excitement for Marsteller Middle School students
 Teacher’s hobby becomes a virtual lesson for students at Marsteller Middle School
While brainstorming distance learning ideas for students, Tim Vaughan, technology education teacher at Marsteller Middle School, realized that his hobby as a beekeeper would be great to share. The exciting virtual lesson allowed students to learn how to care for a beehive, how bees are born, the queen’s role in the hive, and how honey is made.
Vaughan became a beekeeper to harvest raw honey for treating his son’s allergies and because he believes in the importance of honey in the ecosystem. He hopes the tours inspire students to become beekeepers in the future and encourages those interested to reach out to their local beekeeper organizations to learn more.
Kellye Lynn, reporter for ABC Channel 7, interviewed Vaughan about his beehive and sent a photographer to capture the live tour. Watch ABC 7 story
