Would you eat an insect? It depends who you’re asking. Around two billion people, 30 % of the world’s population, eat insects all the time as a normal part of their diet.
With the world’s population set to pass 9 billion in 2050, is it time we took a fresh look at insects for food? That’s what this resource explores (don’t worry, no one will be eating any as part of the lesson).
This resource forms one part of a topic on nutrition and digestion called ‘Food and Famine’. You can find the whole topic on the GSK STEM Education website, here, or find the other four resources at these links:
- Lab Activity 1: Clean, Safe Water
- Lab Activity 3: Liquid Nutrition
- Independent Learning 1: Starving Bodies
- Independent Learning 2: World Hunger
