The Science in a Topic students’ book Food provides a range of information and activities for children relating to different kinds of foods. It leads students to consider food commonly eaten in the past and in other countries. Activities extend students’ knowledge of the origin and processing of raw materials in making foods such as bread, cheese, sugar, and the range of sources of fresh food. A visit to a farm is among the activities suggested. Methods of preserving food and keeping it hot or cold are discussed. Instructions for students are well illustrated by drawings and photographs. The teacher has an active role, as indicated in the relevant sections of the Teacher’s Guide, in providing materials and reinforcing the questions that lead the students to investigate, create and find information.
