Welcome to the Hands On: Real-World Lessons for Middle School Classrooms web site!

Hands On is a comprehensive educational program designed to teach middle school students key food safety concepts while meeting state mandated curriculum standards for math, science, language arts, and social studies.

These lessons contain research-based, highly effective instructional strategies organized into lesson plans, student labs, and hands-on activities to be taught in all subject areas (math, science, social studies, and language arts) for approximately one week. Teachers of all subjects work together. The interdisciplinary lessons allow students to build on food safety concepts from all subjects, thus improving knowledge and retention.
