Corn, also known as maize, has been a very important crop to people in the Americas for thousands of years. It is generally believed that corn was domesticated in the area that is now Mexico several thousand years ago. Indigenous peoples learned to grow this crop and found a multitude of ways to prepare it for food.

Fall is a wonderful time to do a corn unit because autumn is the time when corn is generally harvested. You can, of course, study corn at any time of the year. If you are planning a corn unit study, I hope you’ll find some useful resources below.
