I use this worksheet as a research based homework for Y7. I ask the students to study the food packaging of different fruits and vegetables to see which country they were grown in. They then use the website link on the worksheet to find out:
how far the different foods have travelled
identify which food has travelled the furthest
The students then have too:
explain what Food Miles are
suggest ways of reducing their own food miles
This colourful A3 sensory food work bank can be used to help students describe the different sensory charateristics of foods. The words have been categorised by colours to help more visual learners. It can be printed and laminated to support food evaluations. The words from the food bank could also be cut out and given to students to sort and group into the following categories: texture, taste and appearance.
