The senior class at Brooklyn International has been investigating nutrition problems in our community through an interdisciplinary project culminating in a service. In government class students are reading Chew on This, by Eric Schlosser and Charles Wilson and conducting research on the role of government in regulating the fast food industry; in math class they are examining their BMI function and analyzing obesity statistics; and in physics and English classes students are building Rube Goldberg public service announcements. The goal of each class is for students to deeply research issues of wellness and then use the evidence from each class to persuade their community to make healthier choices. Students are working collaboratively on each aspect of the project to exhibit their work at the annual Brooklyn International High School Arts Expo. It has been very exciting to see students investigate a problem and devise a real world solution that will help contribute to their communities.
