This is not really a good plan, as there are quite a few berries that if not fatally poisonous can certainly give you a heck of a tummy ache.
to do this kind of projet, you should contact the botany department of your local university and/or the wild plant society in your neighborhood and have one of their experts come out with you. The best thing would be if you were able to learn this yourelf, but you arent going to learn it in a day! Probably it would be better if the expert came to your class bringing samples of what should or should not be eaten....
If you are not a trained biologist or botanist, I think you would be taking a big chance trying to teach this to kids. Even with a good plant guide book, you could easily mistake some of the edibles for some of the bad guys....

"Never eat a man's twig and berries", that's what my old mum used to tell me. Never listened to her own advice though, the old slapper.
