DIY Activity Ideas to Explore Food - Where Does It Come From?
Introduction:
Understanding the sources of our food is essential for developing a deeper appreciation of the food we consume. Engage your high school students or homeschooling children in hands-on activities to explore the origins of different types of food. These DIY activities will allow them to investigate the categories of omnivores, carnivores, and herbivores, as well as the process of extracting honey.
Activity 1: Categorizing Omnivores, Carnivores, and Herbivores
Materials Required:
- Eva foam sheets
- cards
Materials image (remove this text )
Procedure:
Using Eva foam sheets and cards, create a visual display to categorize different species into omnivores, carnivores, and herbivores. Arrange the cards according to their respective categories and discuss the species and their placement in the food chain. This activity will help students understand the different feeding habits and dietary preferences of animals.
Activity 2: Extracting Honey using Centrifugation
Materials Required:
- Eva foam sheets, battery (cell)
- small test tubes
- glasses
- wires
- pins
- motor axle
- syringe

Procedure:
Create a model for honey extraction using the provided materials. Use the Eva foam sheets as a base pad and set up the motor, battery, test tubes, and other components. When the motor is turned on, the honeycomb frame rotates, simulating the centrifugation process. Observe how the water from the honeycomb spills out and collects in the glass below, resembling the extraction of honey from a beehive.
