In Part 1, students watch a video featuring fruit producer William Martin and answer comprehension questions about his peach operation, skills learned, and personal protective equipment (PPE). In Part 2, students plan their own orchard by researching USDA Plant Hardiness Zones, identifying suitable fruits, investigating optimal growing conditions, and solving a math problem about tree spacing.
