Problem:
Observe a kindergarten or preschool classroom during lunchtime. Record the following observations: 1) if they tasted the fruits and/or vegetables served and, 2) if they ate all of the fruit and/or vegetables on their plate. Next, design a lesson to teach children about the benefits of consuming more fruits and vegetables. Present the lesson to the same classroom of children that you initially observed. A few days later, observe the same children you focused on during the first session. Describe any notable changes in the children's willingness to taste and to finish the fruits and vegetables on their plates. If none were observed, what recommendations would you have for continued efforts to encourage their acceptance?
