The project is divided into 3 (three) parts; all of them with the purpose of producing an outcome that shows what you have just learned in each task. The last one is a hands-on task through which you will prepare a delicious fruit salad with your teacher and classmates.

To put in practice what you have learned, make a fruit salad along with your teacher and classmates adding some of the healthy items that were in the presentations. Your teacher will give the instructions to prepare it. Have fun!
