TEACHER PAGE:
Objective- 1) The students will be able to identify the 6 major
nutrients necessary for life. 2) The students will identify which
nutrients are contained in which foods. 3) The students will be able
to apply this knowledge in determining a diet.
Activity- In lesson 1 the students will list one activity the nutrient
performs in the body and one food source. In lesson 2 the students
will make out a menu utilizing the nutrients given.
Process- Allow students 5 minutes to answer each lesson 1 screen.
After each screen discuss the various body processes and food
possibilities. The examples given are not complete. In lessen 2 give
10 minutes to plan a daily menu. There is no one answer, have
students explain which foods contain which nutrients.
