Description

Overview:
Food! is a freely available community research guide developed by the Smithsonian Science Education Center (SSEC) in partnership with the InterAcademy Partnership as part of the Smithsonian Science for Global Goals project. These Smithsonian Science for Global Goals community research guides use the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) as a framework to focus on sustainable actions that are defined and implemented by students.

Food! is a module broken up into seven parts. Each part contains a series of tasks to complete. Each task contains additional resources to support that task. We have provided a suggested order for the parts and tasks. However, the structure of the guide hopefully allows you to customize your learning experience by selecting which parts, tasks, and resources you would like to utilize and in what order you would like to complete them.

This unit is an indepth classroom experience to examine our relationship and cultural impacts of food. It provides a good progression to analyzing the challenge of food security and gives multiple opportunities to analyze data to deepen understanding of this issue. It does touch tangentially on a science performance expectation and the the Disciplinary Core Ideas LS2-A and ETS1-A for middle school and provides opportunities for students to use several Science and Engineering Practices and Crosscutting Concepts just not in the context of a strongly addressed Disciplinary Core Idea. The real strength of this unit lies in the way it addresses several Social Studies issues and standards as well as uses of English Language Arts standards to do so.
