Okay, so weird title, I agree. But, our dinner tonight included (at least) one thing from 4 out of the 5 kingdoms of living things. Did you guess what we made?
PIZZA! Thanks to our Creation Science for Kids: Biology Study Unit, we learned that pizza contains ingredients that are from 4 out of the 5 kingdoms of living things.
The yeast in the dough is FUNGI!
Tomato sauce, spice, and in our case, spinach, is PLANTAE!
The bacon is ANIMALIA!
The mozzarella and ricotta cheese contain MONERA!
I mean, really, what a yummy way to learn about science!
Try your own living thing eating this weekend!
(& pretty please – tell us all about it in the comments!)
p.s. – Here’s another way we’ve learned using pizza!

Very interesting! Thanks for sharing that!
Marty says
Love it! I love Biology. We’ll be doing it again next year, and last time we made a pizza “cell” instead of the typical jello ones you see online. I’ll have to remember to see if the kids can tell me which parts are from which kingdom. =)
Beth says
fun, right? great idea about the pizza cell! you can’t go wrong with pizza, right? : )
Marty says
Right! =) It was near Thanksgiving, so we called it our Thanksgiving meal. =)
Here’s the link if you want to see it.
