Featured lessons for January
Soy, The Super Bean
|
|
In this month's featured lesson, we invite you and your students to take a tour of the world of soybeans. This soybean experience will show students how the abundant protein of soybeans is included in our diets as well as the myriad of other ways soybeans are used in our daily lives. It introduces legumes and their ability to enrich soil with nitrogen.
There's also a quick trip through the history of soybeans – including Henry Ford's soybean car. Peggy Thomas’s just-published book Full Of Beans, Henry Ford Grows A Car, is the perfect companion to this lesson. Ford planted eight thousand acres of soybeans near his automobile factory in Dearborn, Michigan and used the beans to make paint and plastic accessories for Ford cars.
The Learning Through Gardening lesson includes a power point presentation that demonstrates all the ways soybeans are used today and includes information on how soybeans are grown and how these legumes work with bacteria to replenish nitrogen in the soil.
