Food Power
is a fun K-5th grade program that teaches students the importance of
healthy eating and physical activity in an exciting and interactive
way. Food Power consists of:
Food Power Adventure
An interactive exhibit experience that takes children to the farm to
learn where food comes from, and into the human body to learn how it
gives them energy to grow and play. The concepts taught in the Food
Power Adventure have also been aligned with the Grade Level Expectations.
Food Power Digests
Colorful magazines that can be used in the classroom and to share at
home to reinforce the Food Power Adventure messages. These magazines
are distributed to classroom teachers as their class exits the Food
Power Adventure.
Food Power is a program offered by University of
Missouri Extension in cooperation with the Department of Nutritional
Sciences, College of Human Environmental Sciences. It adds unique
activity-based experiences to the University of Missouri Family
Nutrition Education Programs funded in part by USDA SNAP.
