    Beef By-Products Source Relay

    Many students think products simply come from factories or stores. This hands-on activity helps students understand that before an item ever leaves a factory or enters a store, it begins as a resource or product in the natural world. More specifically, these products can all be traced back to one unassuming animal, the cow! In the Beef By-Product Source Relay, students will work in teams and run a relay race where they will quickly decide the source of a product and then race to place it into one of the buckets marked Factory, Farm, Store, Earth, or Cow.

    Science in Your Shopping Cart

    Science in Your Shopping Cart shows us just how much science is behind the everyday items we use, eat, and wear. In the United States, we pay less for food than almost any other country. Every year, researchers introduce dozens of new and improved varieties of fruits, vegetables, and other products. But as we walk through the grocery store, do we ever stop to think about where this incredible abundance and variety comes from? This book helps us understand the science that makes it all possible.

    The Art of Food: Plant Pigments and Tannins

    When we think of farmers in Oregon producing popular crops such as beets, blueberries, hazelnuts, onions, and grapes, we might not first think of art supplies. However, these food crops, along with many other plant materials, often find their way into the art studio! Many paints, drawing tools, and fabric dyes contain pigments and tannins, which come from agricultural commodities, even rock and soil! This lesson allows students to utilize foods and other plant materials to discover exciting, naturally occurring colors growing in their gardens or school yards.
