Summer Scientist Lab Kit
The Kansas Corn STEM program is excited to offer the “Summer Scientist: Does Corn Need Light?” lab. Each summer this kit is available to Kansas educators and volunteers, who are leading summer education programs. The free supplies and resources are provided to help you teach your children about agriculture in a fun scientific way.
Summer Scientist: Does Corn Need Light? Lab
In this lab, your summer scientists will explore the role light plays in growing a healthy corn plant. This kit will come with an instruction guide that will help you lead your scientists through the investigation. A bonus to this kit: it takes 7-10 days for corn to sprout. Encourage your students to stay engaged as they watch their plants grow.
“We Grow Corn” Book and Activity Guide
The “We Grow Corn!” book, created by Kansas Corn, takes the reader through the year-long process of growing corn and highlights how agriculture plays an important role in our lives. Our new activity guide that goes along with the book provides opportunities to expand learning with hands-on activities, farm video links and access to online challenges.
