Fresh from the world where your food comes from

http://urbanext.illnois.edu/food/

A very interactive site geared toward K-3 students that explains where food comes from and the history of certain snacks such as popcorn. The history portion of the site really contextualizes how plants become foods and the collaboration it takes. There is also mythology about the origins of certain foods and plants. Each page of the site provides a colorful image with a sentence or two of written information-some of the text is written at an upper elementary or middle level reading level, but it is scaffold well because there is audio narrative of the text.
