High School Science Series
Food for Thought: What's For Lunch?
Friday, October 8
Nutritionists, public health researchers, scientists, and chefs outline the issues concerning school lunches, health, sustainability, and food security.
Through hands-on activities, students learn skills for making better choices about food: how do you create an urban garden; why bother composting; what are the nutritional components in popular teen foods; and how does graphic information system (GIS) mapping of food systems show the path food takes to your table?
Students will have the opportunity to make recommendations for improving school lunches, and one student will be asked to join the "Citizen Chefs Meet Boston's Best" program taking place the next day.
Supported in part by the Lowell Institute.
