2 A Correlation of,, to the for Horticulture Unit 1: Horticulture Orientation and Leadership Development Competency 1: Identify school and program policies and procedures related to the horticulture program. (DOK 1) 1. Safety is an integral part of daily life. SE: 34-37, Rules and regulations are essential to a safe work environment. SE: 34-37, , Competency 2: Demonstrate basic and fundamental safety practices related to horticulture enterprises. (DOK 1) 1. Using proper safety precautions and equipment is the responsibility of every member of a work team or class. Safety precautions are learned and transfer to the workplace. SE: , , , 613, , , Each student is responsible for understanding the safety rules and practices that must be followed in the horticulture classroom and lab, including the use of personal protection devices. 3. Information on the use, storage, and disposal of hazardous materials can be found on a material safety data sheet (MSDS), which an employer is required to have on hand. 4. Workers should be fully aware of safety devices and warnings in the workplace and their meaning or operation. 5. The use of personal protection devices and proper dress is critical to worker safety. 6. There are four different types of fires, and each different type requires different methods of control.

3 A Correlation of,, to the for Competency 3: Develop life and career skills for success in the 21st century. (DOK 3) 1. In addition to the technical skills required to obtain a job, people need essential life and career skills to succeed in a career including leadership, team-building, and human relations skills and work ethics and values. SE: 21-22, 23-24, 26-28, 29, 30-31, 33-34, 52 Competency 4: Explore the role of the FFA in promoting leadership, personal development, and human relations skills. (DOK 1) 1. The FFA is an integral part of the horticulture program, promoting leadership, human relations, and technical skill attainment and providing recognition for accomplishments. SE: 673, , , , 681, , , 689, 690, In addition to the technical skills required to obtain a job, people need essential life and career skills to succeed in a career including leadership, team-building, and human relations skills and work ethics and values. SE: 21-22, 23-24, 26-28, 29, 30-31, 33-34, 52 Competency 5: Examine the concept of leadership. (DOK 3) 1. Leadership is the ability to influence SE: 685, people to accomplish goals and objectives of an organization. 2. Leadership skills can be learned. SE: 684, 685, Competency 6: Describe the role of work ethics and values in establishing and building a successful career. (DOK 3) 1. Work ethics and values are essential SE: 30, 32, for success in all career fields. 3

4 A Correlation of,, to the for Unit 2: Basic Plant and Soil Science (Plant Structure and Growth Competency 1: Explore plant structure and their functions. (DOK2) PS Flowering plants are composed of a system of roots, stems, leaves, and reproductive parts that function together to allow the plant to grow and produce food. SE: 94-95, 96-99, PS.01 PS.02 PS The processes of respiration, photosynthesis, and transpiration allow a plant to take in nutrients and water and transform these materials into energy, oxygen, and tissues. 3. Plant growth takes place through the processes of cell division, elongation, and differentiation. SE: 81-82, 83-84, SE: 79, 83-84, 91, 94, 95, , 149 Competency 2: Apply systems of plant classification. (DOK 2) 1. The scientific classification system SE: 76-79, was developed to allow scientists to have a universally recognized name for a plant and to classify plants according to their characteristics. PS.01 PS.02 PS.03 PS Types of plants are grouped together according to their characteristics. 3. Through biotechnology, plant breeders develop new varieties that offer genetic characteristics of disease and insect resistance, drought tolerance, higher yields, and different color flowers to farmers and consumers. 4. Annuals, biennials, and perennials are three common life cycles of plants. SE: 76-79, , SE: , SE: 79-81, , ,

5 A Correlation of,, to the for 5. There are some types of plants that thrive better when produced in a controlled environment. This type of growing environment is beneficial to growers producing these plants in a mass production system. 6. Some of these types of plants that do better in a controlled environment are bedding and seasonal potted plants. Bedding plants are typically installed with other plants for visual appeal in a landscaping design. SE: 235, 277, , , SE: , 431, , 449 Competency 3: Describe and apply principles of plant growth media. (DOK 2) PS.01 PS.02 PS.03 PS Essential nutritional elements are needed for plant growth. SE: 135, , If a plant does not receive the proper nutrition, it will not grow or produce satisfactorily. 3. Soil ph plays a large role in the availability of plant nutrients. 4. When soil ph is above or below the plants preferred range, nutrients become unavailable, and plants do not grow or produce satisfactory. SE: 135, , 161 SE: , 161 SE: , 161 5

6 A Correlation of,, to the for Unit 3: Horticulture Structures Competency 1: Describe the characteristics and features of different types of PS.01 PS.02 PS.03 PS.04 greenhouses. (DOK 3) 1. Greenhouses and other structures SE: , 239, , , 245- are used by horticulturists to extend 246, , , the growing season and to grow plants that would not normally be grown in the prevailing climate. There are several different types of commercial greenhouses in use today, and selection of a greenhouse type is based on crops to be grown and construction and maintenance costs. 2. Shade cloths are used to protect plants from strong sunlight and wind exposure. 3. While glass was used in the past, most greenhouses today are covered with polycarbonate, polyethylene, or fiberglass materials because of the economical cost of the material and the ease of installation. 4. For optimum plant growth, the greenhouse environment must be controlled to provide the proper temperature, light, humidity, and water level for the plants. 5. Light is essential for plant growth and must be monitored and controlled for intensity, color, and duration. Blue wavelengths affect photosynthesis, and red wavelengths affect flowering and reproduction. SE: SE: , 255 SE: , 255 SE: 82, , , 287 6
