Young Observer’s Notebook. Using the Firsthand Food Journal. Students will learn more about what they are eating and not eating. They pick the food: raw, frozen, canned, or packaged.

Is there printed information on the package? Does the food inside the package look the same as the picture on the outside of the package?
