 ·         ESSENTIAL QUESTION: How do sensory evaluation panels test food products?


Opening Warm-up AND/OR Activator (highlight one):none

Work Session:
1. Students will complete “Odor Recognition” evaluation lab. Students work with a partner. One student is blindfolded while the other students presents samples of different foods. The  student records  the blindfolded student resposonses on the chart. They switch and repeat. All students will compile the data for a class discussion on responses.

Work Session: LESSON 4:  Discover—the competitive market
1.       Review Essential Questions.
·         How can competition in the food market be good and bad?

2.     “Discover, Part I: The Competitive Market,” From Concept to Consumer: Food Product Development Teacher’s Manual, refer to Concept to Consumer Manual, Lesson 3, page 6. Introduce lesson 3.

3.       Discussion questions and topics:
·         Ask students to name some products that are in competition with each other (children’s cereals, sports drinks, soft drinks, athletic shoes and others).
·         Ask students to think of specific ways for how each product attracts customers (stressed are usually a product’s benefits, uniqueness, and appeal to a particular audience).
·         Students will brainstorm which products might be in competition with their product. Students are to keep notes.
·         Discuss the difference between qualitative and quantitative research: qualitative research is based on data collected through observations, and quantitative research is based on numbers and statistics.

4.       Review Worksheet #3 from Concept to Consumer Student Worksheets worksheet collection with the class. Assign a group of students to survey a neighborhood supermarket to see if there are other foods similar to, or exactly like, the food product selected by the class. Have them complete Worksheet #3. Students will check labels for ingredients, note sizes, and types of containers, and where the product is situated in the store. Summarize and report to class.




Closing/Summarizer: Summary: Additional discussion questions:
·         How do these findings impact the potential success of the food product selected by the class? 
·         How is this information going to help you on your product development? 

Thursday~9/11/14

Standards: HUM-FS-3
Investigate how and why scientific evaluation of foods is conducted.

 ESSENTIAL QUESTION: How can you relate the food products that you choose to eat not only to what you taste but to the process of food product development?

Opening Warm-up AND/OR Activator (highlight one):

LESSON 5:  Discover—Planning & Conducting Consumer Focus Groups
1.       Work Session: Review Essential Questions. Post Essential Questions in the classroom.
