Paddock to Plate


Hmm? about Mmm!

This term we're going to be exploring food. Glorious food!

So, before we get started, what would you like to know? Talk about it with your friends and family, then share your ideas in class. We'll use this space to record them and share some of our discoveries.

Farming Staples - staples? Yep, staples.

Let's start exploring how different staple crops grow. Here are a couple of favourites presented by George the Farmer.

Farm Machinery Design Challenges

Have you ever grown potatoes in your backyard? How did you do it? What tools did you use? What tools might George have used on his farm?

When growing things on a large-scale farmers often need special machines to help them, and that leads us to your next challenge. Put your design skills to the test with these farm machinery challenges.

Not sure where to get started? Scroll down further for a video from Bill Nye about Simple Machines that may help to give you a few ideas.

Simple Machines

Here's a video from Bill Nye about how simple machines like levers and pulleys work. I wonder how you might use them in your design challenges.

Seed Saving

Here's an idea you might like to try at home too.
