Lesson Plans Grades 6-8
Synopsis
This is an activity where students will watch a video about the sources of food waste, work in groups to complete a brainstorming activity, and come up with realistic solutions to address food waste.
Encourage students to think about beneficial changes that could be made to the entire food system and the impacts of consumer demand for specific products.
Civics and government classes could discuss the role of regulations, laws, and government funding to support a more efficient, equitable, and sustainable food system.
The ASU College of Global Futures is committed to creating and providing curricular resources that span a diverse range of topics--including food systems, sustainability, quality of life and well-being, decision-making for sustainability, and much more. The lessons are applicable for grades 6-9 with variations presented that will enable teachers to tailor the activities for more ages outside of that range.
