Using the Nutrition Facts Label to Make Healthy Food Choices

This nutrition-based curriculum introduces students to the fundamentals of healthy food choices. With engaging hands-on activities, students will become more aware of calories, serving size, and the nutrients they should get “more of” and “less of.” Designed for use by high school teachers, the emphasis is on an inquiry approach that is customizable to science, health, and/or family and consumer science classes, aligning with current education standards in these curriculum areas.
