Overview (for Teacher)
Pre-Class Preparation • • • • Post-Class Teacher Responsibilities • Pre-teach photosynthesis. Present a large diagram of a leaf with parts labeled. Go over leaf parts and the photosynthesis process. Suggestion: Have students start a leaf journal, they can draw or make rubbings of different kinds of leaves. Wash hands and Critical Thinking Activity. Have learning teams wash hands while the rest of the class completes writing question. Assist in behavior management of students.
Teacher Involvement During Class
Make overhead of Food Label. Answer questions as a class. Recipe • Give students extra credit for making the Cabbage Salad Roll-ups at home. Ask students how many of them made the recipe with their family? Record the number of students who made the recipe at home with their families on the Classroom Tasting Challenge checklist. Write the number of adults who made the recipe with your students on the checklist next to the row for that recipe. • Note: For teachers working with CHANGE program educators, make sure you record this information to support grant requirements. Leaves – part of a plant that grows from a stem, and is usually flat and green. Leaves make food by the process of photosynthesis. Photosynthesis- how plants use energy from the sun to turn water and air into food. Vitamin A- vitamin found in red, orange, and dark green plant foods that helps keep eyes healthy. Writing Question: Compare leaves and humans. How are they the same? How are they different? • • Have students color leaf coloring pages Student Assessment

Lesson Overview (5 Min) • Plant Part Poster • • • •
Content
Hang the Plant Part Poster. Today we are going to talk about leaves (show or draw on plant part poster). Show pictures and write name of leaves on board. Hold up 3-4 different leaves (chard, kale, and lettuce) and explain that we will learn about the function of leaves, why leaves are good for us to eat, and prepare a leaf-based recipe. Have the class name leaves that we eat. Write them on the board or overhead. Ask the class, “If I stand here in the sunlight, can I magically make a peanut butter and jelly sandwich appear in my stomach?” (No) Plants can magically make their own food. They are the only creatures in the world that can do this. They take sunlight, air, and water, and voila! instant plant food. Leaves are food factories for the plant. They take the ingredients in their recipe (air, water, and sunlight) and make them into food that the plant needs in order to grow. This is called photosynthesis.
Function of Leaves (5 Min) • • Introduction to leaves Photosynthesis
• •
•
•
* Depending on your class level you may want to go into more detail.
Details of Photosynthesis (Optional): • Sunlight strikes the plant and chlorophyll, a green pigment in the plant, traps the light energy. • The leaves absorb energy from the sun and convert water and carbon dioxide into energy-rich sugar called glucose. • This plant sugar is the source of food used by most plants. • The plant releases oxygen into the air and absorbs more carbon dioxide to continue the process of photosynthesis.

Hand Washing & Critical Thinking Activity (15 Min) • • Review Hand Washing and Cooking Behaviors Critical Thinking Activity
• •
Ask students to remind you about the appropriate behaviors to cook in the classroom. Review where most germs on the hands tend to be for hand washing (knuckles, finger nails, back of hands).
•
Set up Cooking Trays
Critical Thinking Activity • Teacher gives comparison between leaves and humans writing assignment (can be written in leaf journal) and calls on learning teams to wash hands. • As teacher has students wash hands, set up the Cooking Trays for making the recipe. • Put Cooking Tray on each learning team table. Tell students not to touch the trays until they have instructions about how to prepare the recipe. • • • • • • Explain to class that we are going to harvest some food from our gardens to use in our recipe. Students harvesting plants should WASH THEIR HANDS before harvesting. Harvest some leaves from the indoor gardens with scissors. Leave some plants (you're just thinning them). Wash harvested plants in sieve. Reference skit from the “Seeds” lesson (lesson 3) and have students discuss why plants need space.
•
Harvest Indoor Garden
Teach and Prepare Recipe (25 Min) • Cabbage Salad Overhead
•
Recipe Chant
Put up overhead of Cabbage Salad Roll-ups Recipe. • This is a leaf salad. Which ingredients are leaves? What other plant parts are in the salad today? • Point to each ingredient; hold it up in front of the class. Point to the nutrient column, ask the students why each of these nutrients are important. (only take 1 answer for each nutrient and give further explanation for each) • Say the ingredient, the plant part that it is, the vitamin it's high in, and point to the body part it helps. Have students repeat. Example: o "Chard." (repeat) "Leaf." (repeat) "Vitamin A" (point to eyes) (repeat). o “Cabbage.” (repeat) “Leaf.” (repeat) “Vitamin C” (point to skin) (repeat), “and Fiber” (rub belly) (repeat) o Repeat for all recipe ingredients. Knives • One of the most important things to know about cooking is how to use your knife safely (demonstrate proper cutting and how to pass a knife to someone else safely). These knives are small but they are very sharp.
•
Prepare Recipe in Learning Teams (15 min)
Developed by WSU King County Extension - CHANGE Unit 1, You’re the Chef: Cabbage Salad Roll-ups, 6, Grade 1-3
•
• Clean Up (5-10 Min)
The Number 1 rule to remember is: NEVER POINT YOUR KNIFE AT YOURSELF OR ANYONE ELSE. If you do not follow this rule then you cannot work with knives in class anymore. This is very important. We get special permission to bring these knives into class for cooking and if anyone is hurt because they did not follow directions we may not be able to use them anymore. Have each learning team follow the directions to prepare the Cabbage Salad Roll-ups. Assign each student a specific task or ask teacher to. Demonstrate rolling the chard leaves “like a burrito”. Emphasize the importance of following directions. Refer to Cabbage Salad Roll-ups Recipe. Enjoy recipe with class! Leave 5-10 Minutes for clean-up. Have students clean up after themselves.
• • • • •
Healthy Meal: Vegetables and Healthy Meal: Vegetables Oils (5 Min) • Hold up Healthy Meal tray (should already have protein, Calcium and one vegetable). Where does the Cabbage Salad Roll-ups recipe go on our Healthy Meal? (The vegetable group). Place the second vegetable food model on the tray. • Show the food model(s) for oils. Explain that dressing or cooking oils that we use on our vegetables belongs in the oils category. Serving Sizes • We need to eat at least 3 Cups of fruits and vegetables a day. (1 serving equals ½ cup.) • When we use dressing, a serving size is 1 tablespoon. Nutrition Information • Explain that our recipe has a lot of Vitamin A, Vitamin C, and Fiber (have them point to each body part as you say each nutrient). The vegetable and fruit groups are highest in these important nutrients. Review and Reflection • • Plant Part Learning Contract: Hang contract in front of the class. Ask students to name some leaves we eat. As they name leaves, hand them cards with leaf pictures. Ask students to come up and tell the class what plant they have, what nutrient it is high in, and how that nutrient helps our bodies. Have them tape that picture on to the poster by that plant part. (Goal is for students to identify as many leaves that

we eat as possible and the key nutrient in the plant.) Review photosynthesis. Conduct the Classroom Tasting Challenge: After tasting the Cabbage Salad Roll-ups recipe, ask students to raise their hands to show you how many students tasted, liked or did not like the recipe. Record the number of students who raise their hands in the appropriate column on your Classroom Tasting Challenge checklist, out of the total number of students in class that day.
