Source document note

The official curriculum document has a fault in this entry, so the curriculum text above is transcribed exactly as printed:

• indicator text - p.98: the code B9.2.3.2.2 is printed again on p.97 for a different indicator, "Evaluate the importance of knowledge of maturity stages of different crops to human beings"; the document contradicts itself and both are transcribed
