PROJECT OVERVIEW {en español}

"Are You What You Eat?" is an internet based project which encompasses Math, Science, and Language Arts. Through this project each child will be involved in keeping a daily record of their food choices and correlate these choices to their taste bud preferences.  Students will apply various math skills to draw a parallel to the recent findings of "Super Tasters."

This internet-based project will allow your students to share information about their daily food intake. The project has been developed for elementary level students.  The project will span a range of subject areas including: science, math, language arts, social studies and health. The project is flexible in regards to how it can be implemented.  If you are interested, read the information below to learn more about the project (NO fee is required).
