Students are about a week into the nutrition unit. We will focus on the 6 major nutrients (Carbohydrates, protein, fat, water, minerals, and vitamins). Students will be able to properly read food labels and learn about the effect of sugar on the body. We live in a fast food nation, so we will also spend some time on the long term effect of fast food. Students will also learn about fad diets and track their food intake for a few day period. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact us.
