Developed for second grade. The purpose of this activity is to bring the food pyramid to life. Hang the caterpillar up in a place that is visible to all students and pass out the hand out. Break the class into six groups and assign each group a food category. Ask them to go through the magazines and find foods that fall in their assigned category and cut out the pictures. After about 10 minutes call the class back together. Each child is to pick one of the pictures that they choose to share with the class. Go around the circle and give each child a chance to explain why they cut out the picture they choose and then have them place it into the caterpillar's mouth.Biology In Elementary Schools is a Saint Michael's College student project. The teaching ideas on this page have been found, refined, and developed by students in a college-level course on the teaching of biology at the elementary level. Unless otherwise noted, the lesson plans have been tried at least once by students from our partner schools. This wiki has been established to share ideas about teaching biology in elementary schools. The motivation behind the creation of this page is twofold: 1. to provide an outlet for the teaching ideas of a group of college educators participating in a workshop-style course; 2. to provide a space where anyone else interested in this topic can place their ideas.

In Food Studies 7 and 8 students already have the basic background so I really like Food Studies 9 to be all about creating – providing them with the end result and having them think through the process to create that desired result. So long as they are able to explain their process and meet the criteria there are few limitations put on them. Students view videos on cake decorating, we discuss varieties of cakes, purposes for learning to cake decorate and do some searches of different designs and ideas to get a feel for what they would like to learn. We then get a cake decorator in (locally we have 2!) and they do a demo of simple basics and they get time to practice. We then have a Cake Boss day where they decorate their cake in a time limit and are judged by volunteer teachers.

This task is intended for instructional (rather than assessment) purposes, providing an opportunity to discuss technology as it relates to irrational numbers and calculations in general. The task gives a concrete example where rounding and then multiplying does not yield the same answer as multiplying and then rounding.
