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.
