Meischen, Deanna L.; Trexler, Cary J.
Journal of Agricultural Education, v44 n1 p43-55 2003
Seven fifth-graders developed concept maps depicting their knowledge of meat product development. Despite their rural background, they lacked understanding of agriculture concepts and had mixed knowledge of agricultural literacy benchmarks concerning food products. Their language did not reflect scientific terminology in the benchmarks. (Contains 29 references.)
