Introduction
In this lesson students will learn about the Food Guide Pyramid and how to use it to create an eating program that will be healthful and manageable. They will understand what caloric intake their bodies need to maintain health and meet the needs of their bodies depending on their level of activity. 

                                 Subject: Nutrition 
                                 Topic: Food Guide Pyramid

Student Lesson name and URL:
Standards Addressed
List the California State Standards your lesson addresses. For example:
Sixth Grade
Science: Focus on Earth Science
Plate Tectonics and Earth's Structure

(6) 1. Plate tectonics explains important features of the Earthís surface and major geologic events. As the basis for understanding this concept, students know:

a) The fit of the continents, location of earthquakes, volcanoes, and mid ocean ridges, and the distribution of fossils, rock types, and ancient climatic zones provide evidence for plate tectonics.
b) The solid Earth is layered with cold, brittle lithosphere; hot, convecting mantle; and dense, metallic core.
c) Lithospheric plates that are the size of continents and oceans move at rates of centimeters per year in response to movements in the mantle.
d) Major geologic events, such as earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, and mountain building result from plate motions.

Instructional Objectives
Insert your learning objectives here. For example:
  1. After viewing an animation of continental movement on a laser disk, students will be able to arrange the fit of the continents with continental puzzle pieces.
  2. After analyzing information from an Encarta CD, students will be able to compare the distribution of fossils, rock types and ancient climatic zones on different continents as evidence for plate tectonics by fitting puzzle pieces marked by these special features.
  3. Students will be able to draw a diagram of the earth's layers.
  4. After collecting information from The Earth CD, students will be able to locate earthquakes, volcanoes and mid ocean ridges as evidence for plate tectonics.
  5. After viewing a laser disc geology chapter, students will be able to pass a true/false quiz on lithospheric plates and layers of the earth.
  6. Students will be able to identify the major geologic events that result from plate motions in a Power Point multimedia presentation.
  7. Students will be able to present their findings on the sixth grade plate tectonics and Earth's structure standards in a Power Point multimedia presentation to an audience of peers and adults, including the World Geologic Society.
  8. Students will be able to write, edit and revise their findings on the sixth grade plate tectonics and Earth's structure standards using correct grammar, spelling and punctuation.

Student Activities
Students will visit web sites that allows them to calculate  BMR and needed caloric intake for their age, activity level and weight. Students will create a 2  day personal nutrition plan based on the above information and a crossword puzzle based on  the food guide pyramid. 

Introductory Activity
Students will take a pretest on the food guide pyramid and calloric needs for their age, weight and activity level.
