Suitable for 14-19-year olds (secondary and high schools, and college), this article and accompanying activity sheet can be used in the classroom, STEM clubs and at home.

This resource links to KS3 and KS4 biology, engineering, chemistry, food technology, humanities, art, maths and English.

It can also be used as a careers resource and links to Gatsby Benchmarks:
Gatsby Benchmark 2: Learning from career and labour market information
Gatsby Benchmark 4: Linking curriculum learning to careers

This teaching resource looks at how food can be studied across the curriculum. Dr Christian Nansen, Associate Professor of Entomology and Nematology at the University of California, explains how food provides many interesting learning opportunities across a range of subjects.

The activity sheet provides activities based on cabbages and even includes a recipe for making cabbage muffins!
