Δράση
step 1
Students will ask their parents to teach them how to make their family’s favourite recipes (ingredients and method).
step 2
Field trip – students will visit a local farm or allotment to learn what types of food can grow locally.
- Students travel to location
- Introduction and tour
- Location manager presents what type of foods are grown, how they grow, how long it takes to grow, harvest and process the food, and what is needed to maintain the garden.
- Students get the opportunity to ask questions
- Students will then harvest the ingredients for their family recipe
step 3
Students then return to the classroom and watch short movies about (the future of) agricultural machines, technologies and innovations with the aim of improving yield, efficiency, and profitability (see Resources).
step 4
After the visit to the food garden students are aware that not all products grow locally (see Appendix 1 for further information). They will make a list of the missing ingredients for their family recipe and gather these from the local supermarket.
step 5
Working groups, students will research the origin of their missing ingredients and how they were transported to the supermarket. They will visualise this on a world map with pictures and string.
step 6
Students will then work together to cook their family recipe, and share the meals with their teachers. Not all students have experience with cooking so for some of them it will be the first time preparing a homemade meal.
