Sustain Your Hunger for Learning!

On Thursday, May 13th, 2010, about 150 students in my school (Manalapan High School) joined thousands of other teachers & students around the country (and Mexico!) online for the Siemens STEM Academy webinar “The Science of Future Food” presented by the hosts of Planet Green‘s Future Food, Homaro Cantu and Ben Roche.

We had a blast learning about sustainable eating habits and green-cooking methods. We even got the chance to participate in a live, interactive experiment by making “Fizzy Grapes”- a fun and HEALTHY snack. I loved them so much I even used the activity for my son’s birthday party last weekend. Here’s an explanation for how to make carbonated fruit using dry ice. We used balloons and our own, personal carbon dioxide- our breath!

You can access the archived recording in the Classroom Connections box to watch at your convenience or share with any classes that were not able to attend.

There you will also find the lesson plan that helps tie in the content of the webinar to classroom learning.
