Students are encouraged to think about the different types of work involved in the process of preparing, preserving, and providing food for communities by exploring primary source images, building their own vegetable can, and flexing their math skills through steps to build a canning business. Cannery City Kits are inspired by our keystone Kids’ Cannery program.
Grade: 2nd-8th
