I have the amazing opportunity to start a Food Science Pathway in the school I just got hired to teach at. I have amazing facilities, great co-teachers, and a supportive business community, but I lack curriculum! Can anybody help me with resources, lesson plans, or have any insights to get me startedi? Any help would be greatly appreciated! TIA

Hi Casey,
In Missouri we have some free curriculum for Food Science. It is slightly outdated but it gives you a good idea about where to start. Includes a student reference, lesson plans, and labs. Hope this helps!

Is this IML?
No, this is Kirk Edney with Instructional Materials Service (IMS) at TAMU - we have Food Tech curriculum for purchase at http://myimsservices.com and we maintain a website of free resources at http://txeducationalexcellence.com

Casey,
There is a good start to a curriculum available for purchase through Nasco (enasco.com) Product Number: WA27901H
It is pretty basic but easy to add to and will probably take a full semester if you do all the lessons. It was cheap, and was good information. But I do agree with the CASE comment - I heard it is great!
Some free resources are available on the TEA's Educational Excellence web site; go to the Food Technology and Safety course
We have hosted two CASE Food Science institutes, and look forward to hosting another in the future
Thanks everybody! I really appreciate your input!
The Western Dairy Assn. also has a lot of great food science lessons. A lot of hands on labs. https://westerndairyassociation.org/dairy-in-schools/ag-educators/
You should look into the National CASE Food Science information! The information is outstanding, www.case4learning.org
