Food and Nutrition


We are beginning our last science unit - Food and Nutrition. Since we've finished doing much of what we need to accomplish this year, we'll be able to spend a lot of time during the day on science. You will learn about fats, sugars, proteins, vitamins, and ways of testing for some of these nutrients in food. Our culminating project will be to plan and bring a lunch to school that conforms to guidelines for total number of calories and for the number of calories contributed by different nutrients. We'll also become familiar with the labels on food and the kinds of information provided for the consumer.
