Giovanni and Luke – SAE – Olive Oil

This is a National FFA Organization quick lesson plan built around the SAE video “Giovanni Garcia and Luke Anderson – SAE – Olive Oil.” Students watch the video and complete an “Olive Oil Production” worksheet to learn about production SAEs, the olive oil production process, and careers in the food products and processing career focus area using AgExplorer. It includes student activity sheets and an answer key, and works well within SAE, food science, or plant science lessons.
