Chemicals in Rural Areas: background information & activity book


Chemicals are all around us and can be very beneficial if used correctly. This English and Spanish packet is about chemical safety on the farm, within the rural environment, and in the house. The packet is intended for use by the presentation leader, either an older youth or an adult. Older students make great instructors. Younger kids look up to the older ones as role models and the older students gain skills in the topic and program delivery.

This packet from farmsafetyforjustkids.org/ teaches children about pesticides, the danger and appropriate use. Click on the download button on the top of the page to download the document, or click on the picture to download the document from the Safety For Just Kids website.
