Fun Food Facts For Kids!

• Different parts of the world have their own local food they love. The diets and general food habits of various cultures depend on social, religious, economic and safety factors as well as the availability of different foods.

Examples of food and cuisine that are popular or famous in certain areas of the world include hummus in the Middle East, apple pie in the United States, raw fish in Japan, cheese in France, roast meat and vegetables in England, curry in India and tortillas in Mexico.

• There are approximately 2000 different plant types that humans use to cultivate food.

• Some examples of popular vegetables include lettuce, carrots, asparagus, cauliflower, broccoli, spinach, potatoes and onions.

• The sweet potato is a root vegetable and is NOT closely related to the potato!

• Cutting onions releases a gas which causes a stinging sensation when it comes into contact with your eyes. Your body produces tears to dilute that irritant and remove it from your eyes.

• Pumpkins are usually labelled as vegetables but they contain seeds and are technically fruit.

• Some examples of popular fruits include apples, oranges, pears, strawberries, peaches, bananas, apricots and grapes.

• Technically speaking, strawberries aren't even berries! Strawberries are edible and tasty, but technically, they are receptacles (the thickened part of a stem) rather than a berry. Making things even more confusing - the little hard pieces that appear to be seeds on a strawberry are actually a type of dry fruit called achene and they contain their own seeds! Figure that!

• India is the world’s largest producer of bananas, producing nearly 22 million tons in 2007.

• Humans use many different methods for gathering food which include farming, hunting, gardening, foraging and fishing.

• Humans eat meat from a number of different animals that include meat from chickens, cows, sheep and pigs. Other food products that come from animals include milk, eggs and honey.

• Although humans are omnivores (eating both plants and animals), many people choose not to eat meat and fish, they are known as vegetarians. Those who don’t eat or use any products made from animals (including eggs, dairy products and honey) are known as vegans.

• Food for human consumption is typically made from plants and animals but we also eat other products such as fermented foods and fungus. Some examples are mushrooms and cheese.

• Cooking is an important part of food preparation that involves applying heat. In most cases this transforms the chemical make up of food, altering its texture, flavor, nutritional properties as well as appearance.

The types of food used in cooking include ovens, microwaves, toasters, grills, pots and frying pans. The types of cooking methods are boiling, simmering, steaming, sauteing, pan frying, grilling and deep frying.

• Around 70 million people suffer from food poisoning every year with around 7 million of these cases being fatal. Careful food storage, temperature control and preparation is necessary to avoid potentially dangerous bacteria, toxins and viruses.

• Around 8% of children and 2% of adults have some kind of food allergy, this occurs when the body’s immune system incorrectly assumes a certain food protein is harmful and attacks it. Common examples of food allergies include reactions to peanuts, gluten and shellfish.

Enjoy The Benefits Of Martial Arts!

The benefits that come from practicing a martial art is that you have a healthier, fit body and mind. You gain agility, balance, coordination and reflexes. Those gains can translate into better performance in sports and in every day life. The true armor that martial arts gives to a student is the strength of self esteem.

Strong values make a stronger person. In martial arts, respect for others is emphasized plus you learn to avoid dangerous situations and feel confident in the ability to defend oneself if needed.

Since 1960

Let’s talk about self esteem. Self esteem is the way we feel and think about ourselves. Healthy self esteem can affect everything we do in our lives.

It promotes a positive “yes I can” attitude. It also enables us with the tools to have the best chance at being a happy and successful adult.

An important part of self esteem is respect. In martial arts training, the student learns to have respect for the instructor and fellow students in the class. The martial arts instructor communicates with you about what is expected and informs you of your progress in learning. The classroom is also a great environment to meet new friends with similar interests.

Discipline is an important ingredient when practicing martial arts. It takes discipline to consistently focus on improving skills, going to practice and concentrating on the work involved in growing. In addition, as you gain ranking in the martial arts studio, other students will look to you for guidance. You learn to feel confident in your abilities, communicate what you know to others and make new friends. As you move up in rank, you gain a different color belt that shows others how much effort you have put in. It is the philosophy of martial arts that both the body and the mind must be disciplined in order to overcome obstacles that hinder growth.

Another benefit that comes from this disciplined approach is the ability to concentrate on achieving a goal. This can carry on to other areas of your life, including school work. It can also be an important factor as you grow up and face new challenges in your lives.

$IWHU +LJK 6FKRRO Manufacturing: Exciting and Innovative Tech Public perception has painted manufacturing as undesirable, conjuring images of unskilled laborers performing repetitive tasks in hot, dirty factories. But in reality manufacturers work highly skilled jobs in some of the most exciting and innovate work environments anywhere. Today’s manufacturing is about advanced technologies and fast-paced, state-of-the-art facilities. It is a rewarding career choice that includes practical, hands-on problems and solutions.

It often involves plants, animals and real-world materials like wood, tools and machinery. Michigan’s top manufacturing operations are motor vehicle parts, metal working machinery, and motor vehicles (based on annual employment reportings by The Bureau of Labor Statistics, 2015.)

Advanced manufacturing techniques include automation, high performance computing, advanced robotics, control systems, and technology: computer tech, high precision tech, sustainable tech, process tech.

To prepare for a career in manufacturing, students need to develop S.T.E.M. skills. There are also many national organazations with programs promoting and advocating manufacturing careers for men and women, such as:

• National Girls Collaborative Project - The vision of the NGCP mentorship program is to unite organizations throughout the United States that are committed to informing and encouraging girls to pursue careers in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM).

The United Kingdom • The United Kingdom is an island located in Europe. It borders the North Sea, English channel, and the Atlantic Ocean. The United Kingdom consists of Northern Ireland, Scotland, Wales, and England. It’s about twice the size of New York state.

• England is the most populated area, with 49 million people living there. Many of these people live in southern England, near London. London is the capital of the United Kingdom, and is home to about 7.6 million people!

• The United Kingdom is often called Britain or simply the UK. • The official languages in the United Kingdom are English, Welsh, and a Scottish form of Gaelic.

• The industrial revolution was born in the United Kingdom in the 18th century, making it the first industrialized nation.

• The currency of the United Kingdom is the British pound.

• The total population is estimated to be about 65 million people!

• Major industries include machine tools, electric power equipment, automation equipment, railroad equipment, ship building, cereals, oilseed, potatoes, vegetables, cattle, and fish.

• The government of the United Kingdom is a unitary parliamentary democracy and a constitutional monarchy. The Prime Minister is the head of the government. The queen right now is Elizabeth II and the prime minister is Theresa May.

• In the north and west of the United Kingdom, mountain ridges and deep valleys are common. The south countryside is mainly rolling hills.

• In northwest England and the Scottish Highlands are dozens of lakes, called lochs. You’ve probably heard this term before when telling the story of the Loch Ness monster. Lock Ness is a lake in Scotland, and many people claim to see “Nessie” or a giant monster living there.

• The United Kingdom used to be covered in thick forests. Now only 10% of the land is forest.

• Soccer, rugby, cricket, boxing, and golf were all invented in the United Kingdom!

• The United Kingdom has produced many great writers including William Shakespeare, Charles Dickens, and Robert Burns. J.K. Rowling, the writer of the Harry Potter books, is also from the UK! • Stonehenge is one of the most popular tourist sites in the United Kingdom! Located in England, this structure dates back to around 3000 to 2000 BC. Why they are there is unknown, but there are many theories, including religious reasons, burial grounds, and even aliens!

• British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC), is the largest broadcasting corporation in the world. The corporation is very popular in the United States for news as well is television programs.

• London was the first city in the world to have an underground subway system!

• London hosting the 2012 Olympics is the first time a city has ever hosted the Olympics three times. That was also the first Olympics that had at least one female athlete from every country.

Stonehenge is a prehistoric monument in Wiltshire, England. It’s one of the most famous sites in the world. Archaeological evidence found by the Stonehenge Riverside Project in 2008 indicates that it could have been a burial ground.

Ask yourself “Who will care?” Think of all the stakeholdHUV ± RU WKRVH Dႇ HFWHG LQ WKH RXWFRPH RI \RXU GHFLVLRQ )RU example, say you were a pitcher showing up late for a ball game: stakeholders would include the catcher, backup pitcher, coach, your teammates, the other team, umpire, coaches, parents, fans ... even the concession manager! Visualizing a mental list like this can help you understand the importance of thinking things through.

Your choices make you who you are. You’re in charge of you in the classroom, in the lunchroom, at recess, in the hallways,

on the stairs, in the bathroom and on the bus. You can change the world with the right words.
