KS 2 Science Storing foods

This lesson is designed for upper KS2

Giving pupils a chance to understand why it is important to store food correctly. This is an investigative lesson where pupils have to demonstrate how to store foods correctly and examine the differences between use by and best before dates.

There are interactive activities that are directly linked on how to store foods, which foods are best to store in plastic containers, as well as sharing thoughts about hygiene in the kitchen.

By the end of the lesson pupils will have a good understanding and will produce a class wall of knowledge using post-it notes, discussing any misconceptions and sharing new facts the children have learnt from this lesson.
The photos can be used to place correctly on the fridge shelf or food cupboard. (more foods will be added to the zipped file)
