Help Veggies and Fruits Objectives Students learn what fruits, vegetables, and meats are available during the autumn months.
Students research a specific food family and deliver an oral presentation about their findings.
Students should look for what types of fruits, vegetables, and meats are available during the autumn months, how to best preserve or dry them, and some interesting recipes on how to prepare them. Each group writes a research paper, has a display of the fruits, vegetables, or meats, or pictures of their findings, and gives an oral report. The teacher can form new groups with two students from each of the original groups. The groups then decide what foods from each of the categories they would like the students to sample. The samples can be dried, cooked, or fresh.
