How Safe is the Food We Eat? Lab Activity

Simple, Student-Directed Science Activity

From the farmers who grow and harvest our fruits and vegetables to the professionals who package, cook, and serve the foods to us, the number of individuals handling what we eat is growing. This experiment demonstrates how quickly E. coli can contaminate fresh produce through the rapid detection of the bacteria. Includes materials for six experiments. All experiments are created and classroom tested by teachers and science education experts. Each kit includes an experiment guide with background information, procedures, safety recommendations, and an evaluation quiz
