Resource SynopsisThis resource is a collection of hands-on curriculum-linked activities that give students the opportunity to learn about where food comes, what foods are locally grown in Manitoba, and how food is processed. Your class will have the opportunity to grow their own herbs and vegetables using our Seeds That Feed Kit. Using the ingredients you grow in the classroom, students can celebrate everything they learned with a Pizza Party!

Target Grade/SubjectThis resource was developed using the new Middle Years Human Ecology curriculum document (implemented system-wide in Fall 2016). It is directly linked to outcomes from the Grade 7 and Grade 8 Food and Nutrition document.

Key Messages The food you eat and see in grocery stores is grown or raised by farmers and processed by agri-food industry workers. Farmers grow high quality, safe and abundant food for you and people around the world.

From the Food and Nutrition curriculum document“The food and nutrition topic teaches about healthy relationships with food through theoretical and practical food experiences. A study of food and nutrition can expose students to accurate information and provide opportunities for them to gain competence in making informed choices. The learning outcomes develop skills, knowledge, and understanding of basic food preparation and nutrition.” About Agriculture in the Classroom-Manitoba (AITC-M)Agriculture in the Classroom-Manitoba Inc. (AITC-M) encourages Manitoba students to develop critical thinking skills related to agriculture, food, bioproducts and life sciences. Working with commodity and industry-related organizations, AITC-M’s programming, events and services will further develop future decision makers and entrepreneurs. Vision: AITC-M will lead in developing and distributing accurate, balanced and current information for education resources in school curriculum.

AITC-M’s Core Objectives: To enhance awareness of agriculture in Manitoba schools

To develop an appreciation and awareness of the importance of agriculture, socially and economically

To explain the process of food and fiber production from farm to consumer

To inspire interest in agriculture and agriculture careers

To provide a supporting role to Manitoba Education and Literacy in the linkage of accurate agriculture resources

to existing course curriculum

To work collaboratively with industry partners to develop engaging, interactive agricultural experiences for youth

To develop resources and programs with the guidance and expertise from agriculture and education communities

AITC-M has a variety of programming designed to create links between agriculture and the classroom.

Lesson OverviewLet’s get started by giving your students an idea of how important agriculture truly is! Challenge them to see how often agriculture mysteriously makes a difference in their every day lives! Once the students have completed the quick survey, discuss their scores as a class and how much they rely on agriculture.

Next up, it’s time to talk about what really matters... PIZZA! Have your students trace pizza ingredients directly from the source. Whether it starts in the garden or the field, or comes out of the gate from a pasture, it wouldn’t have been possible without agriculture. Have your students read through and complete the activities on the Pizza Starts on the Farm handout.

Materials we provide: Agriculture Works in Mysterious Ways!

Pizza crust is made from wheat. When wheat is ready to harvest, the farmer harvests the wheat, loads it onto trucks, and takes it to the grain elevator. The elevator then ships the wheat by truck, rail, or boat to a terminal. At the terminal, the wheat is sold to different industries that make food and feed, or it is shipped overseas. The mill grinds the wheat kernels into pieces and sifts the pieces to get the bran and germ (parts of the wheat kernels) out. This is repeated many times to make the substance we know as flour. The miller then adds B-vitamins and iron for nutrients. The flour is shipped in bags to the bakery or grocery store.

Wheat - A Grain

The meat from pigs is called pork. Pigs go to market in only five to six months at the weight of 109 to 118 kilograms. Pigs may be sold at an auction market or may be bought directly by an order buyer who buys for a packer. Pigs provide us with more than pork. They provide insulin to treat human diabetes, and the skin from hogs is used to treat victims of severe burns. Other by-products are glue, glass, rubber, plastics, and heart valves.

Tomato seeds require 75 to 85 days to develop into mature plants with ripe fruits. When the tomatoes are ripe enough to ship, they are carefully packed in boxes. The boxes are then loaded into semi-trailers for transporting to grocery stores. Some tomatoes are sent to a cannery where they are processed.

Herb Planting GuideHow to Plant Your Herbs!

What you’ll need to talk about:

What you’ll need to do:

Additional topics of conversation:

1. Show students the fresh herbs and ask if they know what they are. Have the students look, touch and smell them.

2. Give each student a herb leaf and have them rub it in between their fingers. Talk about the essential oils that are being released and have them smell it again.

3. Encourage the students to taste the herbs.4. Have students compare the fresh herbs to the dried herbs. Talk about the advantages

and disadvantages of each including the price, availability, taste and shelf life.5. Ask the students if they know what recipes use fresh herbs. Brainstorm some

different dishes that would pair well with fresh herbs like basil and oregano – hint: pizza!

1. Each student will need a 2” peat pot or plastic/Dixie cup.2. You will need a scoop or Dixie cup to transfer the soil from the bag into the students’ pots. 3. Students will fill their peat pots up approximately halfway with soil.4. Oregano seeds are very small! Have students place their finger in the seed, and then brush all but

five to six seeds off of their finger. Place the remaining five to six seeds on the top of the soil.5. Basil seeds are not as small. Students can pick up three to four seeds and place them on

the surface of the soil.6. Next, students will need to add a small layer of additional soil over the top of the seeds, be sure to discourage

the students from packing the soil down over top of the seeds (they need air and room to germinate).7. Students will dampen the surface of the soil with water using a spray bottle.8. Before sticking it into their pot, label a Popsicle stick with their name and the herb name, so they can

identify what is growing in their little peat pots!9. You can talk about the seeding process: how long herbs take to mature and how to care for them

in the upcoming weeks/months (see attached Herb Care Guide).

1. You can discuss with students the importance of seeding depth. In general, the smaller the seed, the closer to the surface it should be planted. If the seed is planted too deep it will have a hard time germinating or may not germinate at all.

2. You can relate this process to farmers and horticulturists needing to plant their crops at the right depth and set their air seeders planting depth according to the seed they are planting.

3. You can talk about too little water (drought) and too much water (flooding). Explain to students that although we can control how much water we are giving to our herb plants, most farmers are at the mercy of the weather and don’t have that same control!

4. You can relate this to vegetable farmers using irrigation to ensure that their plants do not get too dry!

Herb Care GuideHow to Grow Your Herbs!

Once the basil and oregano seeds start to germinate, you will see them sprout and begin to grow. Within about three weeks of the little sprouts emerging, you will need to plant them in an outdoor garden or in a bigger pot!

Note: There will only be room for one plant per pot, so before re-potting, choose to keep the biggest and strongest seedling and pull the others!

Option 1: Planting in a PotChoose a pot with a hole for drainage. This ensures that the roots of the plant won’t rot in extra water.

Add one to two inches of premium potting soil to the bottom of the pot. Premium potting soil mixtures provide nutrients your plant needs for optimal growth.

If you used a peat pot, you can simply place it into a larger pot and cover it with soil. The peat pot is biodegradable and it will break down. If you used a plastic/Dixie cup, you must carefully remove the seedling and soil from the cup and place it in a new pot – avoid disrupting the soil!

If you decide to keep your plant indoors, it will need to be infront of a window that gets at least four to five hours of sun a day. A south-facing window is usually the best option! Room temperature is the most comfortable for your herb plant.

If your plant is in a pot make sure to check it regularly to see if it needs to be watered. It is important to thoroughly water the plant and make sure it gets enough water to grow! Remember to place your potted plant in a tray, so the excess water can drain out of the bottom. We don’t want you to have a mess!

Option 2: Planting Outdoors Your herb plants can grow in regular soil in the ground but using a premium soil mixture is optional.

You will need to find a very sunny spot to plant your herb. The spot you pick should get four to five hours of sunlight a day. It is smart to find a spot that also has good drainage, so your plant won’t get flooded when it rains. However, do check on your herb regularly when the weather is hot and/or dry as you may need to water your herb.

Happy growing and eating! Remember to add these fresh herbs to your meals and salad dressings for extra flavour!

Note: These activities were developed with the intentions of each student planting their own herbs and taking them home to grow and care for. An alternative to this would be simply planting one of each herb for your classroom.

The Crust Consists of yeast, oil, salt, water, and flour. Canola oil is heart-healthy and low in saturated fats, and high in unsaturated fats, including omega-3 fatty acids. It is best to make your own pizza crust at home. Thin crust is a healthier choice compared to thick crust. Whole grain and whole wheat flour increases fibre, vitamins and minerals in your pizza dough.

The Sauce A fresh, homemade tomato sauce is a healthy choice for your pizza. Although sauces like BBQ, pesto, and Alfredo are tasty, they can be a lot higher in sodium and calories.

The Cheese Cheese is a primary fat source on a slice of pizza, and although it is high in calcium, too much cheese can add a lot of calories from fat. Go light on the cheese! It will make a huge difference in the nutritional value of your pizza. There are many alternatives to traditional mozzarella: feta cheese, goat cheese, low fat mozzarella, Parmesan.

The Toppings Veggies, veggies, and MORE veggies! Experiment with creative combinations to add extra flavour to your pizza! Use fresh vegetables as much as possible. Toppings like olives, sun-dried tomatoes, and anchovies are high in sodium, so use them sparingly!

The Meat/Protein Protein is an essential component to any meal, and pizza is no different! Choose chicken breast, shrimp, lean ground beef or ham because they are lower in fat than your traditional pizza toppings like pepperoni, sausage and bacon.

How Many Slices should I Eat? Moderation is key when it comes to foods like pizza! One to three slices of pizza is a healthy portion for adolescents. Remember, pizza is only an element of a meal so be sure to pair it with fresh veggies or a big garden salad! If you eat frozen pizza from a box, check out the recommended serving suggestion, found on the Nutrition Facts Table.

What is a Nutrient? A nutrient is a substance that provides nourishment essential for growth and the maintenance of life.

What Nutrients are in Pizza? Nutrients found in pizza are primarily fats, carbohydrates and proteins, as well as many vitamins and minerals depending on the toppings chosen.

The Sum of Good Pizza Ingredients: Start with a thin whole grain pizza crust + fresh tomato sauce + tons of fresh vegetables + a lean source of protein + a small portion of cheese on top = a smart and healthy pizza! Just add some vegetables or a garden salad!

Using the Nutrition Facts Table: % Daily Value

The Nutrition Facts table gives you information on calories and 13 core nutrients. Use the amount of food and the % Daily Value (% DV) to choose healthier food products.

Follow these three steps:

LOOK at the amount of food Nutrition Facts are based on a specific amount of food (also known as the serving size). Compare this to the amount you actually eat.

READ the % DVThe % DV helps you see if a specific amount of food has a little or a lot of a nutrient.

5% DV or less is a LITTLE This applies to all nutrients.15% DV or more is a LOT

CHOOSE Make a better choice for you. Here are some nutrients you may want…

less of•Fat

•Saturated and trans fats

•Sodium

more of•Fibre•Vitamin A•Calcium•Iron

Here is an example of how to choose: You are at the grocery store looking at yogurt. The small container (175 g) of yogurt you pick has a little fat (4% DV) and a lot of calcium (20% DV) – this is a better choice if you are trying to eat less fat and more calcium as part of a healthy lifestyle!

Lesson 6

Be a Myth Buster: Online Scavenger HuntLesson OverviewDuring this lesson, students will complete an Online Scavenger Hunt to learn all about health claims and food labelling! Once students have completed their hunt and found the answers they set out for, bring your class together for a discussion and answer any questions they may have about health claims and food labelling in Canada. Next, as a class, find some food/beverage products that have health claims on the packaging. Discuss the validity of these health claims and analyze ways the media can manipulate and distort images/messages.

Also included is an optional extension activity, ‘Evaluating Internet Sources: Focus on Agriculture & Food.’ This is a great lesson from Ontario AgScape, formerly Ontario Agri-Food Education Inc., a fellow member of Agriculture in the Classroom-Canada. It will give your students the tools they need to evaluate Internet sources of information. Review this resource before the students complete the Fact vs. Fiction T-Chart.

Conclude this lesson with the Facts vs. Fiction T-Chart and have students list both reliable and unreliable sources for information on health claims and food labelling in Canada.

Pizza Dough in a BagReady, Set, DOUGH!

Recipe:This recipe yields enough dough for about a 12” pizza, feeding one to two hungry students!

What you’ll need: 3/4 cups all-purpose flour (175mL) 3/4 cups whole-wheat flour (175mL) 1 pkg. or 1 Tbsp quick-rise yeast (15mL) 1 1/2 tsp sugar (7mL) 3/4 tsp salt (4mL) 2/3 cup warm water (160mL) 3 Tbsp canola oil (45mL)

What you’ll need to do:1. In a large one-gallon (3.79L) heavy-duty Ziploc bag, add your dry ingredients (flour, yeast, sugar and salt).

2. Tightly close the bag and shake until all the dry ingredients are mixed together.

3. Next, add your warm water and canola oil and close the bag, making sure to release any excess air.

4. Knead the dough with your fingers to combine the ingredients. Make sure to get the dry ingredients

from the corners of the bag, you don’t want to leave anything behind!

5. Once the ingredients are well combined and your dough is starting to form a ball, leave the bag closed

and let the dough rest for 10 minutes.

6. Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C).

7. Make sure you have clean hands, spray them with oil so there will be no sticking! Open the bag and

allow the dough to fall out onto your clean and oiled hands.

8. Sprinkle your work surface with a little bit of flour, and then roll-out the dough to fit the pizza pan.

Once your pizza dough is rolled out, add your fresh tomato sauce, your favorite toppings and cheese to build the perfect pizza pie! Bake for 20 minutes in a 350°F (180°C) oven or until the cheese melts and the crust turns golden brown! Delicious!

Fresh Pizza SauceLet’s Get SAUCY!

Recipe:Let’s use those fresh tomatoes and herbs for your pizza sauce! If your garden hasn’t produced enough tomatoes for the whole class to enjoy, source some fresh local tomatoes and make sure to have them on hand!

What you’ll need: 1 Tbsp canola oil (15mL) 2 tsp minced garlic (10mL) 1 cup blended or approximately three medium sized, ripe tomatoes (250mL) 1/4 cup fresh basil (60mL) 1 Tbsp fresh oregano (15mL)

What you’ll need to do:1. First mince up your garlic and fresh herbs, and set aside.

2. Roughly dice those beautiful fresh tomatoes and set aside.

3. In a saucepan, heat up your canola oil on medium-high heat.

4. Add in the minced garlic to your heated oil, stir with a wooden spoon and try not to let it brown too much!

5. Add the tomatoes, basil and oregano to the garlic and bring it to a boil.

6. Reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer, stirring until most of the liquid evaporates and cooks out. The total

time for this will depend on how juicy your tomatoes are!

7. When the liquid is just about gone, use an immersion blender to puree the sauce. If you don’t have an immersion

blender, carefully transfer the hot sauce into a blender and blend until it’s smooth.

8. Once you have a smooth pizza sauce, place it back in the pan and bring it to a boil again, reduce the heat to

medium-low and continue simmering until your sauce is looking great!

If you aren’t using this delicious and fresh pizza sauce right away, store it in an airtight container or Mason jar to save it for later!

Once your pizza dough is rolled out, add your fresh tomato sauce, your favorite toppings and cheese to build the perfect pizza pie! Bake 20 minutes in a 350°F (180°C) oven or until the cheese melts and the crust turns golden brown! Delicious!

Honey-Mustard Salad DressingLet’s have a SALAD-BRATION!

Recipe:Nothing goes better with pizza than a healthy garden salad! Use your fresh lettuce leaves from your garden and source the rest of your veggies locally. Use this quick and easy salad dressing recipe from our friends at the Manitoba Canola Growers Association and Canola Eat Well!

What you’ll need: 2 Tbsp canola oil (30mL) 1 tsp freshly squeezed lemon juice (15mL) 1 Tbsp honey (15mL) 1/2 tsp Dijon mustard (2mL) 1 tsp chopped fresh oregano (5mL)

What you’ll need to do:1. In a small bowl or Mason jar with a lid, whisk/shake together canola oil, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, and fresh

oregano or herbs of your choice!

2. Drizzle dressing over salad and serve immediately

alongside your personal pizza. Enjoy!

Why is it important to eat veggies with a dressing?

Vitamins A, D, E & K are fat-soluble. This means that for our body to best absorb these nutritious

vitamins, they need to be consumed with a bit of fat.

That’s why eating a bit of homemade dip or dressing that contains canola oil is important

for your body to get maximum nutrition from what you are eating.

Where do I store dressing and for how long?

Store homemade salad dressing and vinaigrettes in the fridge for up to

three to five days.

It is easiest to make and store your creations in glass jars!

TIP: To prevent lettuce from turning brown, rip the leaves into smaller pieces instead of cutting them.
