School Kit
The Michigan Soybean Promotion Committee is excited to provide six week science and social study lessons recommended for 4th grade. Soylock Holmes helps students get a clue about soybeans. The lessons follow the Bench Mark standards and are FREE to all Michigan teachers.
Teachers may browse the lesson plans and download only what they need. We also provide the supplies needed to teach the lesson plans. Materials are available upon request to Michigan schools only as the program is paid for by the Michigan soybean producers through their soybean checkoff.
