The Experiential Leaning Mode Learning by doing engages the learner, encouraging him/her to think more, work hard, and
ultimately learn more thoroughly than with traditional teaching methods. Experiential learning is more than just doing activi ties. It
involves discussing the activity, drawing conclusions from the activity, and applying them to the real world. The experiential m odel and
its five steps are used in each activity in this guide as a means to help you gain the most from the learning experiences.
Interactive Demonstration: An interactive demonstration is a fun way to share what you have learned with others. The key is
getting the audience involved in doing what they are doing, not just showing them. You can give an interactive demonstrat ion at
anywhere a lot of people gather. You can choose almost any topic in the Foods curriculum.
Here are some questions to ask when choosing a topic:
Is it something that can be done in three to five minutes?
Is it something other people might like to learn about?
Is there something hands-on for the audience to do?
Can the supplies for the hands-on activity be used over and over again, or do they have to be replaced every time?
Having to replace them adds to the cost.
A demonstration should last about three to five minutes, and you need to be able to do it over and over again with different
people. You should have a conversation with the people you are demonstrating to. The goal is to involve the audience. Y ou can do this
by having audience members do what they are doing, play a game, answer questions, or do a hands -on activity. Some example: how to
use a measuring cup or measuring spoon, or how to find things on a Nutrition Facts label.
Everyone Needs Nutrients.
Nutrients are the special substances that your body gets from the food you eat. Your body needs many different nutrients,
because each nutrient does a certain job for your body. You need a lot of some nutrients and not as much of others. Your b ody is an
amazing machine that knows how to handle all the nutrients you give it. There are five important food groups: fruits, vegeta bles, grain,
protein, and dairy. Each of these food groups contains a different set of nutrients. When you eat foods from every food group every day,
you are sure to get all the nutrients your body needs.
Good sources of Vitamin A: Sweet Potatoes, Carrots, Spinach, Kale and other Dark Green Leafy Vegetables, and Winter Squash.
Carbohydrates Helps you see in the dark
Protein Builds and repairs muscles and other parts of your body.
Good sources of Vitamin C: Bell Peppers, Broccoli, Brussels Sprouts, Strawberries, Pineapple, Oranges, Kiwi- Fruit, Cantaloupe, and
Cauliflower.
Fat gives you energy to Grow, Move, and Do Things.
Water Helps your Blood Carry Oxygen to all Parts of your Body—even your Toes!
Good sources of calcium: Dairy Products including Milk, Yogurt, and Cheese; Dark Green Leafy Vegetables; and Salmon.

Each module is designed to take approximately 3.5 to 4.5 hours and is divided into two main sections: The first classroom
section is devoted to learning basic steps and safety principles. The second section consists of a hands -on activity where participants
have the opportunity to practice what they learned and can a particular food using either pressure or water -bath canning.
guideline to follow for the water- bath canning workshop is to allow: a. approximately 2 to 2.5 hours for the first part of the educational
component and supplemental activities; b. 1 to 1.5 hours for the hands-on-canning portion; and c. 30 to 60 minutes for the remainder of
the slide presentation, questions, clean up and review.
Gas stoves work better for your canning workshops but you can use electric stoves as we ll. Smooth cook-tops are not
recommended kitchen that has a water supply, sink and plenty of counter space to accommodate the hands-on activity.
Keep your class size manageable (15 to 25 participants)
The Curriculum combines the delivery of new information with practical opportunities to apply the knowledge.
Activities Introduction
Activity
Have each participant introduce themselves and relate their experiences with canning and why they are interested in taking th e class.
Regardless of experience levels of participants, reassure everyone that this class is appropriate for all levels.
Jars Pass around examples of a commercial glass jar (mayonnaise, peanut butter or spaghetti sauce), a regular canning jar a nd canning
lids. Have participants compare the width of the sealing surfaces with the width of the sealing compound on the lid. Point out that many
commercial products previously packaged in glass jars are now plastic.
Utensil Kit Show kit contents; all tools will be used during the hands-on activity.
Filling Jars Have several practice jars with lids available for participants to practice “finger tip tight .
Raw Pack Hot Pack This slide is animated. Let participants guess the type of pack indicated by each picture. Mouse click ag ain, and
you will be able to see the titles of the picture.
Let’s Review the Steps Let the participants identify the steps and describe how the tools are used.
Identifying Parts Set up stations around the room with disassembled pressure canners available f or inspection at each station. Divide
participants into small groups and hand out a copy of Presto’s Parts of a Pressure Canner handout. Ask the small groups to id entify each
part on the list. If you have a combination of weighted gauge and dial gauge canners, rotate the groups so that everyone has a chance to
inspect both kinds of canners.
Provide each participant a pipe cleaner to use for checking vent pipes.
Jams and Jellies:
Write the following questions on a flip chart.
What’s your favorite jam, jelly, etc.?
What questions do you have about making jams and jellies?
When making jams and jellies what problems have you experienced?
What do you hope to learn today?
Take a few minutes to discuss participants’ responses.
Jellied Products:
Provide six samples of jellied products such as jelly, jam, marmalade, fruit butter, and preserves to taste and identify.
You may want to include one sugar-free product for comparison.
Have participants do a blind taste test.
List all the sample products on a flip chart and have participants identify each.
Testing for Seals:
Have some sealed and unsealed jars of food.
Let participants practice checking for seals.
What to Do…? Solutions to many of the common problems.
List a variety of problems encountered when making jellied products on index cards.
Hand out one card to each person and ask them to research the problem, the causes and the remedies.
This can be done individually and/or in small groups.
Have everyone report their findings to the entire group.
This exercise can help participants become more familiar with the contents of their r esource book.
Scenarios:
Write the following scenarios on index cards and ask for volunteers to read each one.
After reading aloud, ask participants to spend about 3-5 minutes discussing with the person next to them what was done
correctly/incorrectly and how the problem can be remedied, if necessary. Share responses.
1. Auntie is preparing her famous apple jelly recipe. She pours the jelly into 6 sterilized jars, using all recommended canning
procedures. She has enough left over for an additional jar. She washes a new jar in hot soapy water and pours the rest of the
jelly into the jar. She has just enough jelly for the additional jar, leaving ¼ inch headspace. The processing time for this recipe is
12 minutes. Is Auntie’s last jar of jelly safe to eat? Why or why not?
(Answer: Yes, it is safe to eat. The jar was washed according to recommendations and the processing time is greate r than 10 minutes so
the jar will be sterilized during the canning process.)
2. Mr. A has a large garden. This year, he has a bumper crop of green beans and today he has decided to can a dozen pint jars of
beans. He blanches his beans and pours them into 7 pint jars in his water-bath canner. He sets the timer for 40 minutes. Is he
following the correct procedure? Why or why not?
(Answer: No, he is not following the correct procedure and his beans will not be safe to eat. Beans are a low -acid food and MUST be
canned in the pressure canner. If he followed a tested recipe, it would specify that green beans must be pressure canned.)
3. S is diabetic. She has decided to make strawberry jam using her own recipe that requires half of the sugar of the recipe from S o
Easy to Preserve, which calls for only sugar and strawberries. She is freezing her jam. Will the product be safe? What might yo u
recommend as an alternative to S’s method?
(Answer: As long as S freezes her jam, it will be safe to eat; however, the jam will most likely be very runny because sugar is a
necessary part of the gelling process. If S wants to reduce the sugar in her jam, she could use a recipe for strawberry jam with pectin
and artificial sweetener.)
Summary:
Major food preservation methods and their relationship to the conditions that encourage or inhibit growth of microorganisms.
Students will discuss the principles of food microbiology.
Why Preserve Food? -
Instructional Procedures:
The students will participate in a Pre-assessment to determine their current knowledge about food preservation and production by
interviewing at least five students in class concerning home vegetable gardening and home food storage using the questions. Discuss
the findings of the interviews as a class.
Canning:
The students will complete the Food Preservation - Canning, Introduction, and Basic Information worksheet utilizing a textbook and/or
teacher discussion.
proper sanitation and control of microorganisms in food preservation.
Have groups of students summarize the presentation by making a chart showing specific steps taken to control microorganisms in food
preservation and consequences which would occur if these steps were not followed.
The students will watch a demonstration on blanching vegetables and take notes on the procedure. Vegetables must be blanched to
destroy enzymes that deteriorate the quality of vegetables-frozen or canned.
The students will watch a demonstration on treating fruit with an antioxidant to prevent enzyme deterioration.
The students will participate in a canning lab to practice proper canning methods using fruit(s) in season. (See FOOD
PRESERVATION - CANNING.)
The students will participate in a lab illustrating that acids are a factor in inhibiting growth of microorganisms.
CAN whole tomatoes. Refer to PREPARING AND PROCESSING TOMATOES. The tomatoes can be used in lasagna or another
recipe during the course.
OR
CAN USDA SALSA - HOT TOMATO-PEPPER SAUCE. A pint of salsa could be given to each student to take home if he/she want to
bring an empty canning jar from home. Or, it can also be utilized in a recipe later in the course. FREEZING:
The teacher will discuss the worksheet on FOOD PRESERVATION - FREEZING, INTRODUCTION AND BASIC INFORMATION
as the students complete it. The students will participate in a lab illustrating that temperature is a way of inhibiting growth of
microorganisms.
FREEZE peaches, apples, strawberries (whichever is in season). The peaches or apples can be used in pie later in the course. The
peaches or apples could also be canned. Refer to FOOD PRESERVATION - FREEZING.
As a homework assignment, prepare a FREEZER STORAGE CHART to show what is put into your freezer, when it was put in, and
the date by which it should be removed. Post the chart by the freezer and encourage everyone to help keep the chart up to date.
NOTE TO TEACHER: Options 11-13 are from a Jam and Jelly Unit by MCP Pectin as a way to demonstrate that sugar inhibits the
growth of microorganisms.
The students will complete the FOOD PRESERVATION - JAMS AND JELLIES worksheet as the teacher discusses
INTRODUCTION AND BASIC INFORMATION ON FREEZER JAMS AND JELLIES.
During the lecture, the teacher may wish to emphasize the BULLETIN BOARD IDEA (POSTER).
Other teacher resources for the making of jams and jellies included in the guide are:

While the pectin and fruit are sitting for 30 minutes as called for in the recipes, the teacher will help the students plan a work schedule
for the comparison lab to follow.
NOTE TO TEACHER: If any jams or jellies form crystals, save the product for a result demonstration t o be used in the unit on
CRYSTALLIZATION in this guide.
The students will prepare one cooked jam or jelly recipe and an uncooked jam or jelly recipe in a lab experience.
Recipes to choose from include:
STRAWBERRY JAM
PEACH JAM
GRAPE JELLY
ORANGE JELLY
After the recipes are completed, properly store the jams and jellies to cool. They will be compared and evaluated in a later class time.
After the teacher reviews how to use COMPARISON SCORECARD, the students will complete their scorecard.
The students will taste test their uncooked jams and jellies using a bread product (toast, hot bread, etc). They will then complete
SCORE YOUR JAM and SCORE YOUR JELLY worksheets. The remainder of the jam and/or jelly can then be utilized for other food
classes during the course.
As class time permits, option 13 can be repeated using different recipes. DRYING
The students will participate in a lab illustrating that water and moisture removal are factors to inhibit growth of microorg anisms.
DRY fruit leather. Refer to FRUIT DRYING.
In groups of four, the students will brainstorm on paper the advantages and disadvantages of each preservation method. The st udents
will share the lists with the class and check against resources. Ask students if there may be circumstances under w hich a method might
be impossible or impractical to use.
NOTE TO TEACHER: Be sure that the students connect preservation methods to microorganisms control.
Upon completion of this unit on food preservation, the students will take a UNIT TEST discussing the common problems of canning,
their causes, and solutions. The teacher will discuss the test with the students.
Moisture and temperature are the two critical factors in optimal food storage.
Moisture - the humidity in the storage environment should be low. If dried foods pick up moisture from the storage area, molds and
bacteria can grow. This can lead to spoilage and illness. Moisture can also lead to the breakdown of some packaging materials (paper
degradation and metal rusting). In areas of high environmental humidity a dehumidifier may be needed.
Temperature - The optimal temperature range is in the cool to moderate range, approximately 40 - 70 degrees F. Research at Brigham
Young University (Ref. 1.) on long term storage has shown that wheat retained a n acceptable quality for 25 years stored cold
(basement) and only 5 years stored hot (garage or attic). Grain germination rates will decline and vitamin breakdown rates in all stored
foods will increase as the temperature increases. Canned foods should no t be allowed to freeze. Freezing will bulge cans and may
cause seam failures leading to a potential for foodborne illness. Dry fo ods can freeze without concern.
Other factors - Direct sunlight is detrimental to foods. It can speed deterioration of both the food and the packaging. The heat from
sunlight can also speed deterioration. Always store foods off the floor. Flooring materials, especially concrete can leech ch emicals into
stored foods. These chemicals can pass through plastics and can cause rust to form on metal.
Intended Learning Outcomes:
If students can preserve food utilizing a variety of methods and science principles, they will be better prepared to keep saf e and have
more alternatives when planning and preparing meals.
Caution:
It is essential that you wear flat shoes with a closed toe – this is for your safety and comfort, we will be on our feet most of the time.
