Sample Interactive Activities

1. Technique Demonstration Workshop

Learners work in small groups to demonstrate a selected food preservation method (e.g., drying fruits or fermenting vegetables) and present their process and results.

2. Food Safety Simulation

Students analyze a simulated food processing scenario and identify hazards, then propose corrective safety measures.

3. Processing Comparison Activity

Groups compare two processing techniques (e.g., freezing vs. canning) and discuss their advantages, disadvantages, and real-world applications.

4. Case Study Discussion

Learners examine a real food industry case and discuss how processing affects quality, cost, and sustainability.

5. Interactive Quiz/Game

A timed team quiz on processing techniques and food safety to reinforce key concepts in an engaging way.
