Teach Science Concepts and Inquiry with Food
|
During this half-day Symposium, experts and educators from FDA explained how foodborne pathogens are tracked in an outbreak investigation and the scientific basis for the percent daily values (%DVs) on the Nutrition Facts Label. FDA experts and master educators also lead participants in activities exploring the meaning of the food label and examining the effects of different treatments of milk on milk storage. These presentations and activities were aimed at giving educators tools to use in their classrooms to help students experience several of the National Science Education Standards. Each participant received a notebook of teaching resources from FDA.
This symposium was held at the NSTA National Conference on Science Education in New Orleans, LA. The program was designed for teachers 5-8.
