Description

Classroom programs allow students to focus on teacher-selected areas of interests, topics, TEKS, and connections, and provide a personalized approach that gives students much more direct interaction with the chef instructors than our assembly programs. Students broaden their discovery of how to apply science and social studies in their daily lives while expanding their knowledge of the incredible world of how life relates to cooking, with a focus on encouraging students towards healthier food choices. LIFE will thrill students as they discover and connect living things all around them, starting with learning how to categorize organisms as plants or animals, as well as recognizing objects as living or non-living. Chef will demonstrate and discuss the many aspects of cooking with leaves, roots, stems, and flowers. Students will learn about different animals that we eat. Herbs, spices and other flavorings are explored. Chef will demonstrate various techniques for cooking with leaves, roots, stems, and flowers, and will teach students about the different animals we eat everyday. Ways to season those meats with herbs, spices, and other flavorings will also be explored. This presentation draws connections between the everyday foods around us and the beauty of life that connects us all. The presentation will also show them how science is key in understanding the world around them. In addition, interactive discussions, worksheets, and activities will allow students to make sense of their world while developing their life-skills to make healthier choices for success.
