1. Food is important to sustaining human life.
2.The quality of taste and palatability can be assessed before consumption

quality.
4. External and internal factors cause to food to diminish in palatability and
quality of taste.
5. Food comes in different food groups, and each group has an impact on
health.

2.Why is food important to you?

Learning
Activities
What I am doing? What the students are doing? What data am I collecting?
Hooking the students into the content by showing the
video How Animals Eat Their Food. I am also
walking around and checking to see that they are
writing down which animal they eat most like.
Watching the video How Animals Eat Their Food and
writing down which animal they eat most like when
eating their favorite fruit or vegetable.
I am collecting data about what students know about
produce (fruits and vegetables) as well as what
interests them about food.
Rotating around the room and checking in with
students as they write on wall chart paper about
vocabulary and essential questions and concepts.
Poster Rotation and describing what each word on the
poster means to them in one word. The poster titles
are: taste, palatability, food, produce, nutrition, and
flavor (which are the components of what gives the
best eating experience).
I am collecting data about what they already know and
what we need to cover more in depth to go onto the
next section of this unit.
Handing out two readings from my plate from the
USDA.Writing down thoughts about why food is so
important in our lives as well as asking questions to
guide and facilitate conversation.
After reading a short article about fruits and articles
from USDA my plate, students are having whole class
discussion about why food is important to them, their
class, their community, and the world.
I am collecting data by writing down what triggers and
inspires students about food and nutrition. I will use
this in other days hooks and focuses throughout the
next few weeks.
Key Vocabulary Taste, palatability, produce, fruit, vegetables, nutrition, and flavor.
Ticket out the
Door
In their ag notebooks, under the Food, Products, and Processing tab, define taste and palatability.
