TEXAS UNCOVERED MODULE

Jennifer Funkhouser (Rangeland Ecology and Management) has provided leadership over a new module entitled "Texas Uncovered." This module was sponsored by the Center for Grazing & ranch Management and the Texas A&M University's Department of Rangeland and Ecology Management. It teaches youth about the different regions of Texas. It is a three by three foot product that depicts Texas and its four major regions. Youth will begin by seeing the state with magnetic covers over pictures that depict the region. The presenter will uncover one magnetic cover at a time revealing a picture that is common to the region. They will then have to find its match. It is a memory game for the participants. These participants will attempt to remember facts and figures that the presenters outlined for them and then try to match the region of Texas with the picture. This module is great for an agricultural fair day or classroom activity. It is perfect for a geography class as well.
