  1. Science in the FCS Classroom I never teach my pupils. I only attempt to provide the conditions in which they can learn.Albert Einstein

  2. Science in the FCS Classroom

  3. Science in the FCS Classroom • TEKS Addressed • Lifetime Nutrition and Wellness • 5(A) The student demonstrates knowledge of food management principles . The student will demonstrate correct food preparation techniques, including nutrient retention • Food Science • 4(A) The student analyzes the role of acids and bases in the food sciences. The student will identify the properties of acids and bases. • 6(I) The student studies the chemical properties of food. The student will analyze chemical and physical changes in food

  4. Science in the FCS Classroom • Culinary • 6(A) The student will demonstrate the preparation skills of items commonly prepared in food service operations

  9. Fat Balloons

  10. Science in the FCS Classroom • TEKS Addressed: • Lifetime Nutrition and Wellness • 1(A) Classify nutrients, their functions, and food sources and compare the nutritive value of various foods • Food Science • 17(A) compare the properties of saturated and unsaturated fatty acids • Culinary Arts • 6(A) The students understands the basics of nutrition

  11. Science in the FCS Classroom • Suggestions for Using “Fat Balloons”: • Have students list examples of food that contain the type of fat they have illustrated. • Use the balloons as a visual when discussing the types of fat used in recipes in the laboratory. • For fun have “fat building” races and see who can build their molecule the fastest and the most accurate… Then give then a “Fat Prize”.
