Abstract	The activity described in this article engages students in learning about proper meat storage procedures by using the Internet. They apply their knowledge practically through creation of a pamphlet to be displayed in their kitchen at home and a follow-up report on their parents' kitchen procedures; they may also participate in a classic food storage experiment. This activity is well suited for elementary school children in the second through fourth grades and promotes all basic STEM (science, technology, engineering, and math) concepts. Kitchen activities require all these concepts for successful and safe outcomes. The examination of food storage devices references engineering, and technology is used for the research and pamphlet creation. The section on bacteria introduces life sciences, and physical sciences come into play through the discussion of heat inducing change in the meats. Math skills are integral to the reference table containing temperatures and times. (As Provided).
