Students in Peoria County cannot travel far without seeing a corn field. But do they know that not all corn is the same? Students will understand the process of planting, harvesting, and marketing field corn and sweet corn. They will learn about the differences between the types of corn, the steps involved in growing field corn, and the economic impact on Illinois. Students will learn the lifecycle of corn and investigate the parts of the corn seed through a dissecting activity.
