Since 2010, we have supported Pre-K-12 students with Food Education that is part of teachers’ classrooms and fosters informed food choices.

Did you know that November is National Bread Month? π₯
We love all things bread, especially this recent lesson from Food Education Fellow Gabby, a middle school science teacher in Chicago, IL. Gabby's students learned about cellular respiration by making bread together as a class. π¬
π The next day, students ate their loaves of bread and observed how the yeast reacted differently in each group's loaf. We can't imagine a more delicious and fun hands-on science lesson!
π₯ Looking to recreate Gabby's lesson in your own classroom or home? Check out the book BREAD LAB from our friends @readerstoeaters to get started, and check out our easily adaptable bread lesson in our online Food Education Center at foodedu.pilotlightchefs.org/lesson_plans/bread/ (featuring a no-knead bread recipe from @gregwadebakes himself!)
