Inquiry Project

Driving Question: How can we increase the percentage of healthy food and decrease the percentage of junk food in our cafeteria?

Math: look at how it fits into the school budget and the cost of getting healthy food into the school

Social Studies: look at the area in which the school is in and the different places to buy food for the school that are near? To see what food is healthy for kids

Language Arts: look at how students can write proposals to the school and different companies. Students could also write a paper at the end to explain what they think would be best.

Unit: Healthy School Lunches

Persistent Issue: Why are there not enough options for students to eat healthy in schools?

Central Question: How can we increase the percentage of healthy food and decrease the percentage of junk food in our cafeteria?
