BEAN TEAM
 Created by the United Soybean Board

Soybeans are important to each and every one of our lives, which is why the United Soybean Board (USB) and the soybean checkoff has put together this educational packet to assist you in teaching the importance of this influential crop.  The lessons in the kit not only incorporate a soybean connection, but they encompass core educational values adapted from the national education standards.

These DVDs and worksheets have been designed to educate your fourth-grade students about soybeans using subjects such as civics, English, health, math, science and much more.
