Abstract Details
'Corn, Soybeans, and Science ' |
|
---|---|
Corn and soybeans are the most common crops grown in the United States, so why not use them to teach science in your classroom? We will explore these two staple crops, the science and technology used in today’s agriculture industry and the real-world STEM examples it provides. You will leave with engaging activities to complement your existing science curriculum. Your students may overlook these monocots and dicots in the countryside, but they won’t in your science classroom! Workshop Session (all workshops will be one hour) | |
