Final Project

This movie is designed for students ages 2-5 grade level. I would use the video as a supplement to other textbook material available. We would take health and nutrition in steps by studying one portion of good nutrition at a time. The video would be shown at the beginning of the topic session. The children would be asked if they thought they had good or bad health habits based on the video. The students would be asked to go home and make a list of what types of food they had in their refrigerators and cupboards. We would then divide the foods into the basic food groups. We would work our way through all the topics in the video in more detail in age appropriate lessons. Students would be asked to identify the good habits and come up with some new ideas for recess exercises we could do as a class. To look at the portion sizes part of the video we would integrate it with our fractions lessons in Math. We would also study labels and how to read them among other activities.  At the end of the course they would watch the video again and see what facts they have learned and decide if they felt they could make some healthy changes to their current lifestyle.
