Foods I. Class Teaches 3^rd Graders the Six Essential Nutrients!

On October 15, nine Foods I students and one Foods III students taught nutrition to 27 3^rd graders.  As part of the 9^th-12^th Foods and Nutrition curriculum, the students were assigned to plan and present a lesson about one of the six essential nutrients.  The students played games, were given nutritious snacks such as cupcakes made with pumpkin and smoothies and presented with information on vitamins, minerals, carbohydrates, fats, protein, and water.

This is the second year that the Foods I class has presented this project to the 3^rd graders that benefits both groups and is hoping to do this project again!
