Cooking & Baking

Depending on the grade level, you can use potatoes or tomatoes to talk about colonialism and the conquest of the Americas. For civics, we can talk about farm bills and things like SNAP and how the legislative process effects our everyday lives (and diets). WRT science, agriculture is a fantastic way of teaching about things like photosynthesis, the structure and importance of carbohydrates, and so much more.

I honestly feel that a garden should be an essential part of American education from grade 1-12 with lessons shaped to fit grade level and student input.
