Nutrition Food Pyramid
Posted in Health and Nutrition on 09/02/2009 08:41 pm by Steven Nerenberg
What is a creative, hands-on way to teach nutrition to fourth grade?
I may have the class cut pictures of food from the local grocery ads and make a food pyramid, but I would also like to have another activity or lesson. Any suggestions?
Your idea for cutting up ads is very good and I found another idea:
Students work in small groups to complete a grid (that can be printed using the link below) in which they name foods that meet two criteria required for each box of a puzzle. Encourage them to be creative with their answers because more points are awarded to teams with unique answers. Read more on the link below. Read the entire description for better comprehension. The explanation on the link is quite helpful and below I included the activity objectives.
Activity Objectives -
Students will be able to:
•Identify foods with two attributes for each of the Five Food Groups
•Generate as many solutions as possible for the two attributes
•Develop skills for working in small groups
Have fun!
