Students will participate in an integrated STEM activity to experience the processes of research, design, evaluation, modification, and presentation.
What are the essential ingredients needed to make a healthy ice pop to sell in the school cafeteria? How could we market and sell the ice pops?
Instruct administrators to ask probing questions about the project.
The nutritionist should speak about foods that would be both tasty and healthy in the ice pops and, based on the allergies on record in the school, what foods to avoid.
To facilitate safety when making the ice pops, assign parent volunteers to use the knives and operate the blenders. Students should never have access to sharps. All participants should wear non-latex, food-safety grade gloves and hairnets.
