Future Foods: Can we reduce the carbon footprint of our favorite meals?
Food and climate are deeply connected. Students will dig into data to discover how our food choices impact greenhouse gas emissions. They will propose solutions to reduce their carbon “foodprint,” both as current consumers and as future food engineers. Students will eat this up in class and savor it for years to come!
Alignment summary( Target)
Lessons: 3, 4
Students will evaluate different research/technology for developing more sustainable food sources.

Lesson 4
Community Immunity: A simulation-based exploration of vaccination choices
Using simulations and role play, students explore how knowledge, social influences, access, and policy all influence whether individuals vaccinate. They then see how vaccination rates of a community determine whether an outbreak turns into an epidemic or gets stopped in its tracks.

Lesson 1
In Lesson 1, students interact with the Community Immunity Simulation model. They test different design pathways based on various personal and community vaccination decisions.
Included resources
2 lessons and 1 supporting media item.
