Item description
This is a fun food science activity that has students writing a food review. After reading a page about food critics, students get to be one themselves! Students will have a food to see, smell, touch and taste, and will write down words to describe their food. When they are finished eating and taking their notes, they write their final review and draw a picture. Student packet includes a front cover that can be colored.
The Food Critic can be used in many different scenarios, with something as elaborate as a special dessert to something as simple as an everyday lunch item. It can even be used with just a piece of fruit, or cookies brought in for the class. You can use store bought items to keep it simple, or use it for a recipe made by the students in a food science class. There are lots of possibilities for this versatile activity!
