Food systems: food systems is the way every food gets from the seed and then onto your plate. In this lesson my focus was the seeds we planted in the garden. i researched the food and found how to keep it healthy until harvest.

Clear Paragraph: In all paragraphs its important to format your paragraphs proper;y, it should always contain a claim, lead in, evidence, analysis, and then lastly repeat.

Macromolecules: In this unit we learned alot about these things. There are four types of them. Monosacharides, polysaccharides, protein, and lipids. Monosaccharides are the simple sugars, glucose, fructose, and galactose, that can be found in honey or dry fruit. Polysachharides are large carbs found in food like potatoes and bread. Protein is a complex molecule that bulk up all solid material within your body, food that include this are any types of meat. Lastly, lipids are fats that function as energy storage molecules and chemical messengers.

Marketing: as part of the nutrition unit we looked at marketing strategies that commercials use when advertising their brand or food. We found that the best ways to get attention from viewers is by having celebrities involved, comedy and having the food look really good.

Organic: In this lesson we learned about all the different ways organic foods can effect our eating habits. How all the locally fresh grown foods have a difference in taste and by going to them it can help keep the markets open. When you go buy locally you are supporting small businesses.

I feel like that me and my group was doing great the whole time. We all contributed on the project and helped each other with problems on the project. we all had a good bond together too since we could all joke around but be serious at the same time.

I feel like my strongest skill was my collaboration because i collaborated with my team and made sure we communicated which was another skill that i used during the project. I thing i felt like i could have worked on was staying on task. I would usually go off task and talk to friends when i should have put in all my effort into the team and the project.
