5th Grade Health

Introduction:

Nutrition is a very essential issue in the health of any individual. Sadly, too many American children don't obtain the appropriate nutrients required to be healthy. As you read and explore this webquest, you will learn about nutrition, the food pyramid, and dietary guidelines. Then, you will take a nutrition assessment to see how healthy the foods are that you eat.

Task:

Upon completing the nutrition assessment, you will submit a one page essay stating what you learned from this site. Given this information how would you make yourself a healthier you? Also, I would like for you to turn on the back of your paper and write a sample lunch menu that you consider to be healthy.

Process:

Get the worksheet from your teacher and read all the questions that you are to answer before you begin the webquest. Then, view the video below about school lunches and how you can take a stand on issues that you may have with your school lunch.
