Dairy Council of California, Nutrition Education Programs - 0 views

  •  
    This site has the California standards but the activities could be used with the TEKS. This will tell students how much calcium they need and gives them information on how to get it. This would be a good site for students to check the nutrition they get from the meals they eat outside of school.

BAM! Body and Mind | www.bam.gov | Centers for Disease Control and Prevention - 0 views

  •  
    This site is from the Center for Disease Control (CDC), an appropriate site for our researchers! Has information on all aspects of children's health and games! The one that would be great to use with the students is Dining Decisions in the Food & Nutrition section. It has the students select 5 items from the cafeteria that are the healthiest to eat. It gives them information about the items after they have chosen them and why they are or are not good choices.

This is a good place to have students start their research on what makes a healthy meal.
