Part of Lesson Plan: Standardized Recipes

Activity Overview / Details

The handout titled “eyeballing” will be distributed. While standing by the display table I will tell the students to look at each food, beverage, or recipe ingredient and estimate the portion size by “eyeballing” it. The student will write their estimated portion size on the handout. When the students are finished I’ll call for ( clock partners) one to measure each “eyeballed” portion and one to write the actual portion size on a flipchart or post-it sheet.  

Go around the room and briefly discuss student’s findings.
