Growing Grain

FCFCG has revised its educational Grains Pack to include details of growing grains in the UK and how to grow your own mini wheat field.

Students are immediately engaged through an interactive, Top Trumps style game that encourages them to explore the use of renewable and non-renewable materials in the past, present and future. This helps them understand that many of our cheap, oil-based products come at a high environmental cost, and to explore more sustainable options for the future.

Teachers can start by using some of the interactive debating and choices tools to promote thought and discussion around the topic of renewables. Or take advantage of more detailed schemes of work, developed by other education professionals, in a range of subjects.
