Something to Read... Proof That You Can Change the World

An agbyte to read! There is no better time than now to inspire kids with proof that they can change the world! See what the author, Andy Andrews has to say in this video about the book!
This book tells the story of Nobel Laureate, Norman Borlaug. Norman grew up as an average farm boy in Iowa, but later his work as a plant scientist reached far and wide to help improve the growth of wheat, rice, and corn all over the world. This book highlights the benefits of emerging science, but also has an underlying message to teach kids that, "Every choice you make, good or bad, can make a difference."

See the lessons on the Matrix this book can be paired with to meet specific education standards.

How are science and agriculture connected?
How do plant scientists help improve food crops to feed the world?
