Follow the Farmers - Wheat Farm Tour

Take a virtual trip with your students to New Bothwell, Manitoba where Jason Rempel and his family will explore everything to do with wheat.

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.
• Discover why Manitoba's natural resources are ideal for wheat farming.

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

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