Food for the Brain

With a couple of neat diagrams on student handouts, your life science or health class will examine the contents and serving sizes of healthy foods. They dissect a slice of pizza and scrutinize the nutritional value of its components in writing. Though the lesson plan is part of a unit,and some of the discussion directly pertains to the brain, it really is more of a general nutrition lesson plan, reflective of the USDA MyPlate guidelines. In other words, it can easily stand alone as part of your nutrition class.
