Learn more about plant biotechnology by playing a board game that introduces you to common genetic modifications.
The mustard you’ve had on a hot dog comes from strains of the wild mustard plant that scientists selectively bred over hundreds of years to get different desired characteristics (and today’s mustard is created by grinding seeds from the mustard plant and mixing them with vinegar and salt). And that’s not the only new vegetable, created through scientific breeding, that you commonly see on your dinner plate.
In this activity, kids will play a board game and learn about wild mustard cultivars, and compete to visit six different gardens.
This activity is part of our 4-H at Home Plant Science Series. See the rest of the activities here.
