PARENT TEACHER INTERVIEWS--> are on Wed Oct. 20th from 6:30-8:30  Hope to see you!

HFN2O- This week we are focusing on reading and interpreting food labels. After today's lesson students will build their knowledge by comparing nutritional information from cereal box labels and move on to answer textbook questions to demonstrate their understanding of the material (see the assignment posted on the HFN2O blog). The final question asks the students to use some creativity to design a food label for a product they choose to work with. Students will be evaluated based on their communication and application of material presented in class lessons and what they have learned throughout this assignment. They were shown exemplars and will be provided with class time this week to finish a high quality assignment.
This assignment is Due: Mon Oct 25th and if students cannot complete their assignment during the class time provided...expect Homework over the weekend!

HFA4M-We are finishing up Protein and leading into vegetarian diets, focusing on the science of fruits and vegetables. How do vegetarians incorporate enough protein into their diet without eating meat? This is a common concern that is going to be investigated before we move on to look at specific vitamins and minerals that are essential in our diets. This week in the lab we are going to be cooking with eggs after looking at their relationship with protein and we are also going to be conducting an 'enzymatic browning experiment' in the kitchens.
