Show Your Food Some Gratitude

Show your food some gratitude.

Reflect on some of your food favorites from Thanksgivings past. What are some of the homestyle (as opposed to processed/packaged) foods you typically enjoy around this time of year (fall/winter holidays)? Make a short list (5-10 items) on some scratch paper and then choose 1 or 2 individual food items (e.g. turkey, ham, carne asada, sweet potatoes, green beans, squash, corn, potatoes [any style]).


Now that we have an increased capacity to appreciate how the molecules/nutrients in our food can benefit our cells and, therefore, our entire bodies, we can make specific connections between certain nutrients and their use in living cells. Using The USDA's Food Composition web pages and tools to find specific nutrition information on your selected cherished food, write a personal thank you letter to that selected favorite wholesome food in which you describe/call out at least 3 direct ways your cells gain from or use that nutrient and why that makes you feel thankful. Be sure to start your letter like you would any personal letter: address the food item with a greeting (e.g., "Dear Broccoli"), add a closing, and sign it.

When your letter is finished, be sure to post it to your The Story of the Seed blog to receive any bonus credit.

SAMPLE

Dear Green Beans,

We haven't always been close, but things have been better in the last decade or so. I try to make time for you at least once a month, but sometimes I do forget, even when you're sitting out there in plain site in the supermarket. I just want you to know that I appreciate all you have given me. In particular the marvelous vitamins A & K, not to mention the fair amount of potassium and nice little bit of protein. If it weren't for that vitamin A, I don't know what my skin, eyes, and immune system would do. How would light get converted into a nerve signal that can be interpreted into an image in my retinas without that? And of course
...
Anyhow, I just wanted to let you know that I do notice what you do for me (besides just being delicious all smothered in melted butter).


Thanks again,

Justin

CELL ANALOGIES PROJECT

Read through the Cell Analogies project handout to better understand the requirements of this project. Pay particular attention to the scoring rubric so you know what I will be looking for when I grade these projects.

Use the PowerPoint presentation below to complete the Cell Analogies Project notes guide.

The Cell Is Like a Biotech Company

I strongly suggest using Google Drive's Presentation application to create and store your presentation since you will need to put a live link to your finished presentation on your TSOTS website.

If you like, you may use my sample Cell Analogies PowerPoint as a starting point for your project.

PowerPoint Project Template.ppt

You may also, of course, create your own PowerPoint or Keynote from scratch and then upload it to your Google Drive.
