Good morning, how are you? I would like to share these Homeschool Resources: Social Studies and Cooking. Would you check out the websites and let me know if you’ve used these resources with your students. Charlie and I can’t wait to check out The Kitchen Project – Food History to use in our Home Econmics Class for Cooking.
Actively Learn Social Studies is an award-winning Digital Curriculum that drives student engagement through deeper learning with flexible features and comprehensive resources that empower parents to deepen students’ comprehension and customize their approach to learning anytime, anywhere.
The Kitchen Project – Food History– Grades 5-12, with parental supervision
With today’s ad-supported website visitors can uncover the history of some of their favorite foods. Created by Chefs Stephen Block and Stephen Holloway, this website explores the origins of certain foods, how they got their names, and other interesting facts about them.
Some delightful dishes to choose from are:
- carrot cake
- hoagie
- French toast
- Reuben
- cake
- dumplings
- buffalo wings
- the hamburger
- pizza
- And so much more.
There is even a free food history course (if you sign up using your email address)! This site is easy to navigate, loaded with interesting information, and yummy recipes. The history of food makes an interesting topic to explore and a great addition to a Home Economics Course.
Thank you,
Glenda, Charlie and David Cates
