1.ย What is the role of farmers in this process?
Answer:
Farmers play a crucial role in the journey of grains. They prepare the soil, sow the seeds, take care of the growing plants by watering them, applying fertilizers and protecting them from pests. They harvest the crops when they are ready and prepare them for sale. Without farmers, we wouldn’t have grains to eat.

- Sunlight: Helps plants make their food through photosynthesis
- Farmers: Grow and harvest the crops

1. What role does your tongue play in this process?
Answer:
Your tongue helps in tasting the food. It can sense different tastes like sweet, sour, salty and bitter. The tongue also helps in mixing the food with saliva and in pushing the food to the back of the mouth so it can be swallowed easily.
2. What do your teeth do to the food?
Answer:
Your teeth help in biting and chewing the food. Front teeth cut the food, while the back teeth grind and crush it into smaller pieces. This makes it easier to swallow and digest.
3. What happens to the food inside your mouth during this process?
Answer:
In the mouth, the food is chewed by the teeth, mixed with saliva and tasted by the tongue. Saliva starts breaking down the food, making it soft and ready to be swallowed. This is the first step in digestion.
Page 93 – Valuing Food
Every grain is precious. Do you eat every grain of food served on your plate? When we waste food, we fail to respect the hard efforts of everyone who helped bring food to our plate.
Answer:
Yes, I try to eat every grain of food served on my plate. I know that many people work very hard to bring food to us – farmers grow the crops, workers harvest and pack them, drivers transport them and cooks prepare the meals.
When we waste food, we are not only throwing away food but also disrespecting the efforts of all these people. We should take only as much food as we can eat and finish what is on our plate.
This shows that we are thankful and respectful towards the people and the food we receive.
