AGRICULTURE EDUCATION
PROGRAM
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.
