Intended for secondary educators and their students, this curriculum will provide agricultural background knowledge and facilitate experimental design, data collection, and analysis of results through the use of a new online web-based and mobile-optimized tool, AgConnect. AgConnect follows the scientific method from hypothesis to conclusion and includes prompts to design an experiment, a notebook to record data collection and observations, data analysis tools, results display pages, and the option to download entries to share data in presentations, posters, and reports.

The complementary AgConnect curriculum includes guiding questions so students can engage in peer-to-peer learning and sharing about: 1) the relationships between environmental conditions, suitable crops, economic impacts, and cultural connections; 2) relevant agricultural issues, questions, and potential solutions unique to each region; and 3) comparison of experimental processes, challenges, 'a-ha' moments, and results.
