The lesson begins with asking students if they have ever experienced food poisoning before.  Students are prompted to share their experiences.
Foodborne pathogens, high risk individuals, and the different types (bacterial vs. viral) foodborne illness are defined. 
Slides 10-20 contain an “I Do, We Do, You Do” strategy with a cooperative learning activity. 
Using the “real-world” scenario script, walk students through how you would go about identifying the causes, symptoms, sources, and prevention methods of the foodborne illness.
Script: You are a food scientist and have been asked to research the bacterial foodborne illness Salmonella.  People are getting sick with this all over the world, and it is up to you to inform them on what it can cause, what foods it commonly contaminates, the symptoms, and ways to prevent it from spreading.  Fill out the chart below and be prepared to share your findings with the world!!!
You can place students in breakout rooms in groups or as individuals to have them complete the activity.  Students will be asked to identify the above characteristics for one of the following foodborne pathogens: salmonella, staphylococcus aureus, clostridium botulinum, campylobacter jejuni, clostridium perfringens, listeria monocytogenes, shigella bacteria, and e coli. 
Have students take turns sharing their findings.  Students can take notes on their peers' presentations, or you can gather the slides and share them with all students.
Lesson 4 continues with information on avoiding foodborne illnesses, the four steps to food safety, and food additives. 
Next Steps Slide includes instructions for what students should complete next.
