MODULE 4: HOW CAN WE HELP LIFE ON LAND?
Crops are plants or plant products that are grown and harvested for consumption and profit (to make money).
Crop rotation means changing the type of crop grown on a piece of land from year to year.
You can rotate crops on land like a clock, called cyclic rotation, or choose what’s best for your business,
called non-cyclical rotation.
Contour farming is when farmers do their activities (plowing, planting, cultivating, harvesting) across the
slope instead of up and down the slope.
The perimeter of a shape is the total distance around (outside) a shape.
We can calculate the perimeter of a shape by adding up the lengths of each of the sides.
The area of a shape is the amount of space inside the shape. It measures the amount of surface that shape
occupies.
The area of a rectangle is area = length x width.
The area of a square is area = side x side.
I. Directions: Choose the letter of the best answer.

A. corn and soybeans have similar insect pests that respond to the same methods of control.
B. soybeans grow very densely and will shade out many of the weeds that grow in a cornfield.
