20 time is the opportunity and time for students to ask their own questions, do their own research, and form their own conclusions in learning, without the constraints of a typical lesson plan.
For our project we asked the question: How will certain diets affect our physical and mental states? We decided to go on two different diets, one per two weeks. The first would be vegetarian and the second vegan. We chose this project to switch up our daily diets in ways that we have not tried before, and see whether it would benefit us. We also wanted to learn about how changing our diets can have an impact on the environment around us.
We hope to gain a new appreciation how these simple diets can actually have an impact on our own lives, and the lives of animals they can potentially save. We also are interested in seeing if anything from these diets work for us and can continue to be a part of our lives.
We plan to carry out these diets for a month, two weeks for vegetarian, and two weeks for vegan. We are going to keep track of our meals on an app called YAZIO. We will also note our weight and our blood pressure every week. We hope to cultivate a better understanding and appreciation for even the simplest things, such as the food we eat.
