Steps, phases of the learning strategy to develop
Phase 1. Inform and characterize the new food component selected
For the management of the learning activities will be developed using the strategy based on
projects (ABPr).
Step 1. Inform. Each student collects information to define the concepts based on the concepts

characteristics -, - sensory characteristics, - conservation, storage, - the most common
mechanism of deterioration. To organize the information, it is suggested that each slide is
