The University of Delaware's College of Agriculture and Life Sciences has developed a set of resources for teaching the science of foodborne illness, prevention, and outbreak resolution.  The resources include powerpoints, case studies, and online interactive web-based activities that can assist teachers in developing a food safety unit for their classroom.

Instructional materials for middle school and high school food safety modules (including detailed lesson plans and worksheets) were developed by graduate students Travis Chapin, Rachel Pfuntner, and Matt Stasiewicz and pilot tested with 61 students during 4-H Career Explorations and at 4-H Camp Bristol Hills.  These materials may be of interest to middle school and high school teachers in life sciences, consumer sciences, and forensics.
