Where To Store Items

Worksheet Description

The Kitchen Safety worksheet is an educational activity designed to teach students the correct storage locations for various food items, emphasizing the importance of proper food preservation. The worksheet is divided into two columns, one for items that should be stored in the cupboard and the other for items that require refrigeration. At the bottom of the page, there is a list of food items including yogurt, beans, onion, milk, pasta, chicken, cheese, bread, eggs, raisins, can tuna, and sour cream.

Students are instructed to cut out the names of the food items and paste them into the appropriate column based on where they are best stored to maintain freshness and prevent spoilage. This task helps students to learn about food safety and understand why certain foods need to be refrigerated while others can be kept at room temperature. For example, dairy products like yogurt and sour cream need to be kept in the refrigerator, while dry goods such as pasta and beans are typically stored in the cupboard. This interactive approach not only makes the learning process more engaging but also instills practical life skills that are essential for promoting health and safety in the kitchen. The worksheet acts as a valuable educational resource for home economics or life skills classes.
