Nutrition, Grades 6-8
Color Overheads Included! Confused by all the changes in the USDA's nutrition policies? We have the books for you! This three-volume series builds awareness about healthy food and lifestyle choices in light of the most current thinking about nutrition and exercise. These books contain 28 reproducible pages, 8 full-color transparencies and answer keys. In addition to interpreting the new food pyramid, this book delves more into the "science" of food - including discussions of food safety (understanding the microbiological activity in foods and how to keep food safe to eat), foods that fight diseases (blood pressure, brittle bones, cancer, heart disease), and other issues. Games, word searches, matching activities, and simple recipes for classroom preparation of healthy snacks are included. 32 pages.
