Bloom Taxonomy Verb: describe, explain, summarize
Learning objective: Students describe food safety practices that promote healthy eating by exploring each step of a simple kitchen safety sequence and why it matters.
Purpose: Show the sequence of food safety habits from before cooking to after eating, with an explanation of why each step prevents illness.
Visual style: Simple linear flowchart with six steps in sequence
Steps (every node must have a Mermaid click directive opening an infobox):
1. "Wash Hands Before Cooking" — Hover text: "Hands pick up germs all day; washing them removes germs before they can get onto food."
2. "Wash Fruits and Vegetables" — Hover text: "Produce can carry dirt and germs from the farm or store, so rinsing it removes them before eating."
3. "Keep Raw Meat Separate" — Hover text: "Raw meat can carry germs that spread to other foods if they touch the same cutting board or utensils."
4. "Cook Food to a Safe Temperature" — Hover text: "Heat kills most harmful germs living in raw food."
5. "Keep Hot Foods Hot, Cold Foods Cold" — Hover text: "Germs grow fastest at room temperature, so foods are stored hot or cold to slow that growth."
6. "Wash Hands Again Before Eating" — Hover text: "A final hand wash removes any germs picked up while cooking or setting the table."
Color coding:
- Blue: Hand-washing steps
- Green: Food preparation steps
- Orange: Temperature-control steps
Implementation: Mermaid flowchart with `click` directive on every node calling an infobox function that displays the hover text above; linear top-to-bottom sequence.
