Students will learn about the different plants and animals that are in the desert by making cubes with drawings of different native plants and animals around in the squares of the cube. Included is a recipe for tepary beans, a bean native to the Southwestern United States and Mexico grown in Pre-columbian times, either to make as a class or for students to bring home to their families. This lesson helps emerge students in the biodiversity and culture of the region which once all belonged to Mexico.
