Take the chocolate challenge!

Cacoa can only be grown in certain locations

around the world. Some of these locations produce a very large amount of cacoa while others grow less.

The United States of America is not a cacoa producing country so where do we get our cacoa?

Use the website below to answer the questions in Part 2 on your Web Quest sheet.

Where in the world?

Cacoa (chocolate) has been around for

thousands of years. However, it was not always found at your local store wrapped in a pretty package. Use the website below to answer the questions in Part 3 of your Quest sheet. Use only the sections labeled: “Chocolate in the Forest” and “An American Invention”.

Chocolate bars do not grow on trees! Well, in a

way they do. Then again, they don’t really….. Oh, you will just have to find out for yourself. Go to the next website and click through each picture. It is interactive! That means you will click on things to harvest, process, prepare, dry, roast, sort, mix, etc. to make chocolate bars. As you go along, answer the questions on your Quest sheet. Hint: sometimes you will have to click on the pictures for the answer.
