Discussion on the next food project

We had a revision on the vocabulary that have been introduced during the thematic class.

The vocabularies are : carbohydrates, energy, vegetables, fruits, food pyramid, doughnut, protein, milk, mulberry tea leaves

Then, we had some discussion about the next food project that we could work on. Usually I will pick one major project to work on for every level on the food pyramid. We had done food that contains carbohydrates (doughnut), vegetables and fruits (mulberry tea leaves project) and protein (homemade yogurt).

Now, we left the most top part of the food pyramid. I saw that there were mostly sweets, oil and fats. Therefore, I brought in a book about a variety of experiments that we could do with chocolates. We went through each activity available in the book with brief explanation. After that, the children needed to discuss and decide which activity that they would like to work on.

After browsing through the book, the children decided to try the Popsicle chocolate where they could decorate it themselves. I also find that this activity doesn't need much equipment and the ingredients are pretty simple. Basically, we only need some cooking chocolates, some baking decorations and some aluminum foil. As a result, I shall prepare and get the activity done by next Monday.
