Agriscience

We had fun we went to the store to see how many items had corn in it it was pretty amazing to see how many item had corn it it there was at least 118 items that had corn in it. Didn't think that it could be that much maybe even more!

Today agriscience talked about our food system. We made our own food systems we based it off of how food is made all the way to how it gets into your refrigerator.

Today we went to Manchester Market and had a race to see who could find the most products made from corn. My group won. We found a total of 105 corn products. We won Hershey drops, gumdrops, and yogurt covered pretzels. A lot of unusual things are made from corn like diapers, dry wall, and spark gloves.

Today we went to Manchester Market to observe which foods had corn in them. To our surprise about 90% of their stock contained corn. It was interesting how things like soda had corn in them. It was a great experience.

Today our component discussed the food pyramid and the many effects that fast food could have on the body. In a study that our group read, we learned that food can be as addicting as drugs. The hard part of the discussion was figuring out whether or not the government should be involved in regulating what people eat and the amounts of fast food restaurants that are located in poor communities. Ultimately our group decided that it would be best if the government educated our youth about the harmful effects of fast food, and what makes it so addicting.

Today was a fun day. We where looking up what scientist do for a living, and that it's not easy to to be one.
