A lot of people take the pizza for granted and don't think about the ingredients and that the ingredients start out on the farm. So, my job was to come up with a creative way to relay the information to grade school children that would keep their interest. The concept is simple. It's based on the mar's rover mission of 1997. Once there, the probe investigates the planet surface putting the sensor arm on the dough, cheese, tomato sauce, and sausage.
Children play the roll of scientists and discuss different parts of the pizza.
They'll also talk about commodity by-products and other fun facts. All the actors are children, except the adult technicians in launch control. While your students are enjoying a fun space exploration video, they'll also discover history, geography, and mathematics while learning about the farm and where their food begins. This educational video is targeted toward children in 1st through 5th grades and will be packaged in a pizza box including teaching materials and lesson plan. The video is generic enough to apply to teachers and students in any state.
