When studying the American pioneers in your homeschool, middle school kids won't be bored when you add in some fun hands-on activities, like these involving food. Cooking methods may have changed over the years, but you can still bring history to life in the kitchen by recreating some dishes from the American frontier. We love making the sweet popcorn balls.
