The WEED TO WONDER app and website explores how a common Mexican weed was transformed into a modern food and fuel known as corn.
Developed by the Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory, the fascinating story is told through a series of tutorials that include text along with over 150 photographs, maps, diagrams, and videos. The materials are divided into six sections including an introduction, domestication, hybrid vigor, genome sequencing, jumping genes, and biofortification.
Designed for middle and high school levels, librarians will find this app/website to be a good addition to their growing “interactive e-book” collection.
