Food Science - food as brain fuel

Food Science journalling on a white board

We have a new mother-son activity: food science. We are trying a few things. We are going for good enough, not perfect.

1. Food journaling. You can write it or draw it or some combo.

  • We decided we could do it on a white board and photograph it to archive on the ipad.
  • We also considered the option of a pencil and a Science lab book Miranda left us. 

2. Categorizing what we eat. We used a food pyramid.

3. Identify all the important things you like and need to do. Draw it on a picture of a brain. Figure out if what you ate is helping fuel those skills today.

Stay tuned. Or join in. The class is ongoing.
