Maple Syrup Production
Students examine the steps of maple sugar production and the labor and effort involved from the tree to the final product. They participate in a taste test game, and if they have access to maple trees, make their own syrup and sugar.

A trip to the sugarbush is a popular field trip for many students. Before such a trip, or even just during the season, learning about the production of maple syrup is a great way to introduce a study of Canada's cultural heritage.
