World Hunger Awareness Plans for Science

Our students have explored the realities of hunger. They've researched areas of the world most affected by this plight. They've discussed the reasons for starvation and famine. And they've looked at malnutrition from different angles. Now it's time for science to step in and see what changes it can make. This is the essential question that must be answered by scientists around the world: How can science help fight world hunger? Read the following article from the link provided (you can project it on the ActivBoard), and as you read, have students come to the front and highlight any ideas or comments linking science to world hunger. [] Also included on this wiki is a speech given by a member of the World Food Programe. Read the speech and have students highlight references and comments related to how science can be involved in the World Hunger crisis.
