*Every Nutrition Lab course opens with a safety page for parents — allergens named, kitchen and garden safety, and what to watch for.
-Read it before you begin.
Around seven years old children start to be able to comprehend and can run a real experiment! — change one thing, keep everything else the same, and find out what happened.
This course is built on that.
It opens with a question that catches out most adults: a tree seed weighs almost nothing and a grown tree weighs tons, so where did all that weight come from?
Nearly everyone says soil. It is mostly air.
Six worksheets across three weeks.
What's inside
· Plants Build Food Out of Light — including taping card over a leaf for four days to see what the plant does without it
· Which Part Am I Eating? — root, stem, leaf, flower, fruit, seed, and the fact that broccoli is a flower that never opened
· How It Got Here — one food traced backwards from the plate
· Four Ways to Keep a Pea — fresh, frozen, canned and dried as four answers to the same problem, with none of them ranked
· Grow It and Measure It — two pots, one bright, one dim, measured weekly
· Heat Changes Everything — cooking one thing, and whether the change can be undone the worksheet on growing asks what else was different between the two pots.
Listing what could have muddled a result is what separates an experiment from a guess.
Every file is a PDF.
Fill them in on a computer, or print them.
You get both editions — full color, and a print-friendly version that uses about half the ink.
Same words, same pages. Print whichever suits the day.
Every course includes a parent guide written for that age, and a short page on how to practice the material so it is still there next year.
One purchase covers your own family. Print as many copies as you need for your own children. Two children at the same age level? One purchase is enough.
Two children at different age levels? Each age is genuinely different material.
Using an Arizona ESA? Place a separate order per student, so each receipt matches that child.
Prices shown are before tax. Any tax due is calculated at checkout
