Abstract: The abstract nature of economic theory creates challenges for Introductory agricultural economics courses. Current techniques designed to teach theory tend to be labor intensive or prohibit active participation in learning theory. This paper discusses recent experiences of designing, constructing and presenting multiple dimensional and mechanical models in classroom learning.
