Hands-on activities look at the good and bad effects of germs, compare how different types of packaging extend the shelf-life of food, and use scientific research processes to investigate how decomposers like mushrooms break down food. Search the Lambton Gallery for artifacts related to food decay and preservation and make connections between science and everyday life in the past and present.
