Michigan Soybean Committee (MSC) is committed to introducing students and teachers to soybeans and deepening their understanding of agriculture’s impact in Michigan. MSC believes that soybeans help connect agriculture, food, and the environment to real world science instruction. Anyone who comes in contact with this curriculum quickly discovers that soybeans are linked to our everyday lives through industrial products and the food on our tables.

It has been totally redesigned to allow for easier use by students who might be in a virtual or hybrid learning setting. Additionally, all curriculum materials have been updated giving them a fresh modern look, allowing students to stay engaged in their learning.
