THE YEAR OF NO MORE CORN is a wonderful book to integrate into Science lessons.
Children enjoy learning the different aspects of farming corn.
Have the children go to the library to research corn. They should answer the questions on the enclosed sheet . It's important for the students to know why corn is an important crop, where it grows, and how long it takes to grow it and harvest it. If possible, take the class to a local farm where corn is grown so that they can see what it looks like and how it is grown. Bring in an ear of corn and shuck it for the class.
