Nutrition: Why do we need rice in our diet?

Curated and Reviewed by Lesson Planet

Second graders discover what the Food Guide Pyramid represents. In this health lesson, 2nd graders experience the types of foods represented in each of the groups found in the pyramid. As part of this lesson, students discover one food in particular as being something which should be part of every person's diet; that food being rice. Finally, students create a rhythm stick using rice so that the students can play in a rhythm band.
