The 8th grade Introduction to Agriculture class has worked hard to understand the different pig breeds, the functions of a pig's internal anatomy, and learning where their favorite cuts of meat come from. Last week, they dissected piglets donated by a local farm and determined the cause of their death. This week, they put everything they've learned so far into a hands-on project! After learning about the financial side of the swine industry, students were given their very own piggy bank. On one side of the piggy bank, students painted a pig breed they learned about in class. On the other side, they painted a diagram of their choice: internal anatomy or different meat cuts. #ExperienceWCS
