NUTRITION WEBQUEST: CHOOSE ONE TO WORK ON. DUE MONDAY, MAY 20

 Science-Literacy: Introduction to Nutrition webquests (You will get to choose which one you work on): http://www.stbern.com/Classroom%20Pages/computer/Nutrition%20Web%20Quest/nutrition_webquest_intro.htm

Life these days can be very fast paced; good thing the food industry is keeping up! Fast Food Restaurants can be found everywhere making it a convenient option for breakfast, lunch, dinner and even for a snack. Think about your eating habits, how good are they?

 

In this Web Quest you are going to do research and gather some information on the foods you eat.  NEW LINK THAT REPLACES MY PYRAMID: http://www.cnpp.usda.gov/myplate.htm

 

Or Operation Help a friend http://csiamiddleschool.com/nutrition_webquest.htm

Over the last few weeks, you've noticed some out of character behavior from one of your close friends.  Your pal is exhibiting some behaviors that lead you to believe that he or she is suffering from an unhealthy body image, and may be suffering from an eating disorder.  You decide to talk with your friend, because you are concerned about his or her health.  But just in case your friend doesn't want to listen to you, you also want to take with you an informational brochure containing helpful information that may help him or her to eat better or to exercise safer.  That way, you can leave it with your friend to read and think about on his or her own.

INCA PARTNER WEBQUEST: DUE TUESDAY, MARCH 12
