Students will:

  • Explore a Manitoba wheat farm to discover where their food comes from.
  • Learn about the life cycle of wheat and the conditions needed to grow a healthy wheat crop.
  • Identify what foods and nutrients come from wheat.
  • Discover how a combine harvester, and all the simple machines in it, work to harvest grain.

Extend your students' learning with our Simple Machines are Everywhere on the Farm companion resource.
