Food is Elementary by Antonia Demas, Ph.D. is a unique
curriculum integrating academic disciplines with food, nutrition,
culture and the arts. The curriculum is a research-based program
modeled after the award-winning Trumansburg, NY study, "Food
Education in the Elementary Classroom".
The Trumansburg study published in 1995 demonstrated that a
food-based curriculum results in dramatic dietary acceptance of
diverse healthful foods among children in the elementary school
lunch program.
Additionally, the study showed that a hands-on, experiential,
food-based curriculum provides academic enrichment for all
students. Designed for teachers and volunteer food educators,
this book contains 28 sequential (and 8 supplemental) lessons
with age-appropriate lesson plans for pre-K through 2nd grade and
3rd grade through 8th grade in addition to equipment lists and
"how to" guidelines. The USDA food pyramid and basic nutritional
principles are featured. Academic disciplines including art,
geography, history, language arts, mathematics, science, and
writing are integrated into lessons. Each lesson plan can be
taught in a one-hour class, or topics may be selected for
presentation in shorter time periods. All lessons are
participatory: students and parents use all five senses to study
whole foods, cook, create art, plant seeds, and write in
journals. Students prepare and consume cold food in the first
semester and hot international entrees in the second semester.
The eight additional lessons feature hot international entrees.
