[quote=Anonymous]I think it's a pretty neat idea. Cooking classes are a great way to teach young children math (fractions, division, multiplication, etc.... although they won't help much with derivatives, integration, binomial equations, and other topics found in the upper level mathematics courses of algebra, calculus, trigonometry, and others, lol).

Gardening and physical education classes/activities are a great medium towards teaching children science in a fun manner (biological, anatomical, physiological, etc). It simply depends on how you frame it.

You can also use gardening/nutrition/etc. as a means to explore social studies and geography (e.g. this plant is common to South America. It grows in X region under Y conditions and has X benefits. The people of X country have been using it since 1600 for X,Y, and Z. Animals use this plant as well for food, nesting, etc).

In short, I'd be open to an idea such as your own, and I think it can be great for early childhood learning![/quote]
