Students were given the chance to decide what groups that different foods belonged to and discuss ways to cut down on “empty calories”.
I really appreciated that the presenter not only used kid-friendly language, but she gave simple and demographically appropriate suggestions on how to incorporate healthier choices whenever feasible.
In my own K-5 experience, I had a weekly special devoted to the subject of health, so I’m happy to see its importance is being addressed in new and engaging ways.
In my future courses of teaching science, I look forward to learning how to incorporate the subject of health into my lessons.
