Why Are Foods Many Colors? | The Science of Colors! | SciShow Kids

Jessi helps Squeaks learn about why foods can be so many tasty-looking colors!

Hosted by: Jessi Knudsen Castañeda

Crosscutting Concept:

Structure and Function: The way an object is shaped or structured determines many of
its properties and functions.

Disciplinary Core Idea:

LS2.A: Interdependent Relationships in Ecosystems - Plants depend on water and light to grow (2-LS2-1). Plants depend on animals for pollination or to move their seeds around (2-LS2-2).

Performance Expectations:

2-LS2-1 Plan and conduct an investigation to determine if plants need sunlight and water to grow.

2-LS2-2 Develop a simple model that mimics the function of an animal in dispersing seeds or pollinating plants.
