Investigating Food and Energy at Home

Students meet their partner class through a short video call and learn what heating, freezing, and mixing do to food. They share one favorite meal from home to get started.

In small mixed groups, students test how heating, freezing, and mixing change simple foods and record what they see with photos. They also ask family members simple questions about how they prepare meals and draw or photograph one example for a shared wall display.

Students share their observations and family meal photos with the partner class during a live video call. Together they compare how meals are prepared in each country and discuss which cooking method works best for different foods, explaining their reasons kindly.

Students present their collaborative mural and key findings to the partner class and reflect together on what they learned about cooking and each other's families.
