“I really liked this task!”
Kiviniitty School in City of Kokkola
142 km
When we get home hungry, we have no idea what to eat
In Finland we waste food 20-30 kg/person
Idea for AP is to use ingredients already existing at home, that they don’t deteriorate and to be thrown away
Idea
Then create a meal or a snack for ones family or friend
And save money when the food aren’t wasted
This ap can be used for example teaching costs and about environment: why it is more economical to prepare a meal yourself
Idea
Easily and quickly made meal can also be everyday life gourmet!
Encourages to be innovative, inspirational and to think outside the box -> what we can do!
Idea
Action
Group of 9th grader girls(inc. 2 exchange students, one teacher)
Carried out as a homework following given instructions
Return within two weeks Digital or mobile phone
camera Food/ingredients at
home Report with photographs
Instructions
Take a picture from the content of your fridge in the morning
Think what you can prepare from the existing ingredients
This way can do the “what to eat” thinking during the day
Consider whether you need to shop something little on the way home
Then..
Prepare the meal and take pictures along the way
Something new!
Idea was to create something new
Use recipes only as gudeline

Fuel for smiling
all of the participants were so excited about this homework.
“…a good idea considering the future…” “It was nice that one could plan and also
photograph what was doing…” “it was good that one could work independently and
to come up with their own stuff…” “…nice different task, and it was fun to
implement…” and our exchange students thoughts: “It was nice
task. When I was making the task I was thinking that we waste so much our food. And that said I cooked something whit help of my host mum and I learned to cook some typical Finnish things.”
