Welcome to the Hands On Classrooms Curriculum!
Hands On teaches middle school students food safety concepts while meeting state-mandated curriculum standards in the core subject areas.
Using highly effective research-based instructional strategies, student labs, and hands-on activities, the Hands On curriculum covers subject areas in math, science, social studies, and language arts during the week-long unit. Teachers of all subjects work together to teach these interdisciplinary lessons, allowing students to build on food safety concepts from all subjects, improving knowledge and retention.
The Hands On Classrooms program, and their entire suite of curriculum have recently been endorsed by the Association for Middle Level Education.
