The Story of Grains and Drinks
Grains like barley, wheat, and rice are important foods. People use grains to make bread, cereals, and many kinds of drinks. For thousands of years, people have fermented grains to make drinks. Fermentation is a natural process where tiny living things called yeast change sugars in grains into new substances. This process creates many different drinks around the world, including beer. A beer can is a container design...
Why do you think people have been making drinks from grains for such a long time?

Size Science Lab
Read the size clue
A beer can is 6.6 centimeters wide and 11.5 centimeters tall. Imagine a small juice box; a beer can is about as wide as that. If you stand it up, it's about as tall as your hand! It's also 6.6 centimeters deep, meaning it has the same width and depth. This cylindrical shape helps it stand up easily and be held comfortably in one hand. Its size is designed to be portable and fit in many places.

Estimate
Find an object in your classroom or home that you think is about 6.6 cm wide. What is it?
