If you're looking for a skill-based, hands-on nutrition unit for your Middle / High schoolers, I've got you covered! This comprehensive nutrition unit covers reading nutrition labels, sugar, My Plate, eating a healthy diet, bluezones, diet culture and SO MUCH MORE. This isn't just another nutrition unit; it's nutrition's latest and best research made into 4 weeks of fun student-centered activities. Need proof? Here's what Emma, a fellow teacher, wrote in her review, "I've never had a student compliment my lesson before and after this unit I had a 9th grader come up to me and say, 'Miss, that was the best health class.' " Now that's the vibe we are going for!
