Our high school students have 90 minute class periods. We try to have cooking labs once a week, which is great because the students are on their feet. The gloves and hot plate will assist with these. Encouraging activity is important as it also reduces risk of overweight/obesity. The bean bag activity will be a fun way to break up longer lecture days for some physical fitness and learning! The portion distortion and activity workbooks emphasize the overall health and nutrition curriculum. As a Registered Dietitian, I feel as though the classroom needs the food models. The USDA has lesson plans that are able to incorporate these food models.
