'Grains of Saskatchewan': A new hands-on learning experience

Last month, Agriculture in the Classroom Saskatchewan (AITC-SK) unveiled a brand-new ‘Grains of Saskatchewan’ interactive display. A new interactive display that will allow a more hands-on learning experience surrounding agriculture and crops grown in Saskatchewan. Sara Shymko, executive director with Agriculture in the Classroom, explains how hands-on learning can benefit when teaching about agriculture. 

“When you grow up on a farm, especially a grain farm, you think that (agriculture) knowledge is pretty common and that’s not always true. This display is hands-on, and kids can actually see and touch and smell, it's very interactive, very hands on. They're also often surprised to learn the different products that are made from some of the crops that we grow here in the province and it's interesting because I would say adults also learn a lot.”
