Family Consumer Science

Students will begin the semester course by being exposed to a well-rounded review of the middle school family and consumer science standards including career planning and education, financial literacy, and nutrition and wellness. After completing a survey of the above standards, students will then take a deeper dive into nutrition and wellness in a hands-on experience in the kitchen where they will put their knowledge of dietary guidelines, nutritional label analysis, food safety and foodborne illnesses, kitchen safety, and sanitation practices, cooking terms, equivalents, abbreviations, and measurements to practice in an authentic setting.
