A major part of cooking involves delivering heat energy to natural things and transforming them to the state where they can be digested and absorbed. This technique does not stop at simply making food taste good. Professor Wrangham of Harvard University says the ability to produce food through heat is what helped humans evolve.
"Power" is about how to change ingredients using physical force. In terms of preserving, texture, convenience, and nutrient intake, this revolutionary cooking method provided the foundation for cultural development
Fermentation is an advanced cooking method of using microorganisms' life activities to cook food, and it can synthesize new components and remove toxicity from food. But because it uses microorganisms, it is a unique cooking method that causes both aversion and preference.
This episode covers the five taste receptors which are sweet, salty, spicy, bitter, and sour. "Why is sugar sweet?" is the wrong question. "Why does sugar taste sweet to us?" is the right question. Taste doesn't exist in things. It is something our brains create. It is a type of antenna that mankind has developed for survival. It is the ability to consume nutrients and avoid poison.
Audience: Students; Grades: 4-8; Subject Areas: Health. (2007) Stresses the fundamental skills needed to plan, select, and prepare foods that make up a healthy diet.

There's always food growing somewhere in America. That's part of the real miracle of nature. Fruits and veggies are in full swing in Florida in the coldest months of the year ? we start this episode in the Everglades in early February with our friends from L&M Farms. Then we roll up to Georgia in spring to visit Baker Farms, one of the largest growers of greens anywhere. Then we head for North Carolina in July to follow the crop as it continues marching north before starting all over again in Florida the next year.
The only problem with Vidalia Onions -- Georgia's trademarked crop -- is they're only available from April 'til September. When they first came to national prominence in the 1980s, that wasn't a problem. But people loved 'em so much they started asking for more and grocery stores wanted Vidalias year-round. But you can't fool Mother Nature. The Vidalia onion only grows one place on Earth, in the rich soils around Vidalia, GA. The search was on for a similar, suitable climate and soil mix that would produce a sweet onion that could be Vidalia's off-season cousin. They found the answer in Peru.
Audience: Students; Grades: 4-8; Subject Areas: Social Studies. (2013) Changes With Money and Finance In Middle School and a bit older, money will begin to play a more important role in their life. It seems as if you can't do anything without money. So earning, saving, and learning how to wisely spend money will bring more important changes in their life. Having a mature relationship with money and learning how to manage one's finances provides life-long benefits. A young person's understanding of how to become financially literate is best learned at any age if it begins now.
Audience: Students; Grades: 4-8; Subject Areas: Social Studies. (2013) Changes With School Upon leaving Elementary School most everything in a students life is going to change while they transition to Middle School. Students will be starting over again...beginning at the bottom grade level. They'll have more teachers and more classes. Extra-curricular events will take more of their time. They'll need to be better organized and learn techniques for staying on top of all that schoolwork. The social dynamics with other classmates will become more sophisticated. Middle School is a period of tremendous growth and enormous change for any student. Helping them understand how to deal with the changes can only lighten the process.
Audience: Students; Grades: 4-8; Subject Areas: Social Studies. (2013) Changes With Family As youngsters mature, one thing is for sure, the relationship with the family is going to change. The Middle School years are a time when young people want to learn and decide more things for themselves. Even so, it's not a good idea to disregard the assistance of others, like adults. Of course with more independence comes more responsibility. They will be expected to contribute more at home, at school and in other parts of their lives. It won't necessarily be easy but knowing the changes coming can help them meet the challenges ahead.
Audience: Students; Grades: 4-8; Subject Areas: Social Studies. (2013) Social Changes As part of the maturation process, young people will likely request more privacy in their personal life, which is perfectly acceptable. However, they shouldn't close the door on family or important others. What's the purpose of a secret life anyway? In social settings they will begin to take an interest in others who didn't seem so interesting previously. In general girls will be more interested in boys and boys will be more interested in girls. This is also a time of tremendous peer pressure so they need to be very choosy about who they select for friends and what groups they may consider to join.
