Go on a tour of a Will Bergman’s Manitoba canola farm without leaving the classroom.

Students will:

  • Discover where their food comes from and how it is produced.
  • Learn about the life cycle of canola and the conditions needed to grow a healthy canola crop.
  • Identify what food comes from canola.
  • Describe the role of fats in our diet.
  • Discover why Manitoba’s natural resources are ideal for canola farming.

The livestream recording includes the video and a Q&A with Will. This is a great companion resource for the Make Your Own Salad Dressing Using Canola Oil! resource.

The Science outcomes listed for this resource represent the old curriculum. New curricular connections are on their way!
