Industrial Hemp
A National STEM Learning Centre and Network Engineering Case Studies resource investigating the industrial uses of Hemp.
Hemp is making a comeback!
Industrial hemp (as it should be referred to) has been used for thousands of years for ropes, medicines, insulation, oil, seed, paper, canvas - even for concrete by the Romans.
It seriously fell out of favour with the advent of plastics and a misplaced association with drug-use, but is enjoying a renaissance as a 'green' and incredibly versatile product.
This resource is so rich you can generate several lessons with it to teach different areas of the curriculum.
