Crunchy, juicy, yummy science!
Kindergartners learn that food gives our bodies energy to play, grow and learn. They sort foods into groups like fruits, vegetables, grains, dairy and protein, and they talk about "everyday foods" and "sometimes foods." Kids discover that many foods come from plants, like apples from trees and carrots from the ground. They use their five senses to describe food, too: crunchy, sweet, sour, smooth! The click moment is when a child looks at their lunch and says, "I have a fruit, a vegetable AND a grain!"
Food is the most delicious science topic there is. These moves keep it hands-on and fun.
Flash one fruit card at a time and let kids name it, say its color, and tell if it grows on a tree, a vine or in the ground. Then sort the cards into piles together. Real pictures build vocabulary kids use at the grocery store.
Why it works: children learn more from words and pictures together than from words alone (Mayer, 2009).

Why it works: the U.S. Department of Education's guide for teaching elementary math recommends moving from hands-on objects to drawings to numbers.

Kindergartners learn the basic food groups, the difference between healthy everyday foods and sometimes foods, and where foods come from. They also use their senses to describe what they eat.
Keep it positive and hands-on. Let kids help wash vegetables, sort groceries into groups, and build a colorful plate. Talk about how foods help their bodies run, jump and grow.
The five food groups are fruits, vegetables, grains, protein and dairy. A colorful plate with a little from each group helps kids get what their bodies need.
Cook together, visit a farmers market, or try a new fruit each week and describe its taste and texture. Kids are more willing to taste foods they helped choose or make.
