Plantmobile: Farm Fresh
Where does our food come from? How did it get here? In this unit, students will explore the many facets of agriculture and the food we eat every day. The younger grades will make connections to plant parts and inherited traits, while older grades will tinker with ways to improve our agricultural systems and make connections to the history of New England farming.
And, of course, all grades will get to taste-test some farm fresh fruits and veggies! Grades PreK-5
