NEW! Pressure Canning for Kids — A Hands-On Homeschool Unit! 🌱
What if a lesson on pressure canning could cover science, math, agriculture, history AND real-life skills all at once?
That’s exactly what this 112-page, age-tiered unit was designed to do!
Kids and teens don’t just learn how food is preserved. They investigate why pressure canning works through hands-on activities, experiments, worksheets, recipes and real-world projects.
🥕 Garden vegetables from harvest to jar
🍗 Meat, broth, soups and meal starters
🔬 Microorganisms, heat, pH, pressure & vacuum seals
🌡️ Altitude and pressure-canning science
📏 Measurements, fractions, yields & conversions
💰 Cost-per-jar and pantry math
🫙 Hands-on jar-filling and canning skill practice
🔎 Canning Detective troubleshooting challenges
📜 The history of canning & the Mason jar
🌾 Food and agriculture career exploration
📋 Pantry inventory and meal planning
🌱 A complete Plan Your Preserved Harvest challenge
And because it’s age-tiered, younger learners can work on simpler science, measurements, sorting, observations and practical skills while older students dig deeper into food safety, microbiology, calculations, recipe research and pantry planning.
This is the kind of homeschool lesson I love most: learn the science, practice the skill, and understand how it applies to real life.

🌾 NEW RELEASE from The Homestead Homeschool! Career Exploration: Agricultural Careers Unit Study🚜
What does your child picture when they hear the word agriculture?
A farmer driving a tractor? A red barn? Cows in a pasture?
Those are absolutely part of agriculture, but they are only the beginning!
The NEW Agricultural Careers Unit Study from The Homestead Homeschool Career Exploration Series introduces upper elementary and middle school students to the incredible variety of careers connected to the food we eat, the land we depend on, the animals we raise, and the technology shaping the future of farming.
Students will explore careers involving:
🌱 Plants, crops, orchards, and greenhouses
🐄 Animals and veterinary care
🚜 Farm machinery, mechanics, and engineering
🔬 Agricultural and food science
🌲 Forestry, conservation, soil, water, and wildlife
💻 Drones, GPS, robotics, and precision agriculture
📸 Agricultural business, marketing, photography, and journalism
👩‍🏫 Agricultural education and Extension
🥕 Food production and farm to table careers
And this isn't just career reading!
Students will complete hands on STEM challenges, science activities, career spotlights, worksheets, matching and sorting activities, a career interview, career investigation project, agricultural career interest inventory, and more.
One of my favorite parts is the Build Your Own Mini Farm Business Challenge, where students become agricultural entrepreneurs! They'll choose what to produce, plan their land and equipment, identify jobs, determine their customers, set prices, solve business problems, create a farm map, and design their own farm business sign.
By the end, students aren't being told what they should be when they grow up.
They're discovering something much more valuable:
What am I interested in? What am I good at? And where could those interests take me?
🌾 Agricultural Careers Unit Study
📚 Upper Elementary through Middle School - High School version coming soon!
🚜 Hands On Career Exploration
🔬 STEM + Science
🌱 Agriculture + Natural Resources
💰 Business + Entrepreneurship
🛠️ Real World Skills
🏆 Certificate of Completion Included
This is the first release in The Homestead Homeschool Career Exploration Series, with more career fields coming!
And remember, The Homestead Homeschool Network members can download this unit at no additional cost, along with our growing library of homeschool curriculum, learning resources, online classes, and homesteading guide books for teens and adults.
