Description: This lesson provides an illustrated reading passage titled Harvester of the Earth's Treasurers. It is about cooking with Geraldine R. Aguilla who is the head cook at San Simon School on the Tohono O'odham Reservation in the Sonoran Desert of southern Arizona. Students will estimate amount of milk discarded in one week and compile data to check their estimate. Students can compute average amount of milk wasted per student each day or the total amount of milk that a student or the class or the school will waste in a week, month, or year. Ask students to brainstorm for ideas on how to waste less milk.
