A recent question about food safety brought up a great idea for an activity. The teacher wanted to find an interesting approach to review some otherwise very bland food safety handling practices. Here is the idea I came up with:
This activity is a great way to apply real world experience to a common problem. All the students in your class aren't going to be in the food service industry. But they will all be out on their own within the next few years. Think about all the times you've opened the refrigerator to find a snack and end up having to decide whether or not to eat something that has been in there for an unknown time.
We do cover some elements of food science in our Agriscience curriculum. We'd love to see your pictures of your results. Send me some feedback and follow us on Pinterest and Twitter .
Have a great week at school!
