For the investigation portion of our unit of inquiry we dug a little deeper into the changes food products go through. We brought in food containers from home and learned how to scan, skim, and read labels to find important information like ingredients, cooking instructions, and where the food was grown or processed. We represented our findings by attaching the containers to a world map and comparing the countries our food comes from with bar graphs. We used an online programme called Popplet to demonstrate our understanding of what food products can be produced from plants and animals like wheat and cows. Finally we worked in small groups to address our remaining "seeds of thought". These included questions like: What is the difference between corn and wheat? Do different fruits and vegetables come from different trees? How do we get rice from those green fields? Children did an exceptional job of communicating and collaborating in small groups using books, the internet and each other to create flow charts which answered their questions.
