Abstract
The creative component explains the importance of agricultural mechanics classes in agriculture teacher preparation and the need for continuing education in that discipline for teachers of all backgrounds. As a result of research and teaching experience, there are 10 Agricultural Mechanics lesson plans for new and experienced teachers. Lesson plans include tool conditioning, construction layout, 4-stroke engine maintenance, chainsaw safety, and even a Native American Studies mechanics lesson.
