I will begin by asking students what they know about food and nutrition. What are some foods you like to eat? Why do we need food? What do you think is the purpose of eating healthy? I will introduce the concept of food groups. I will show pictures of various foods and ask students to categorize them into different food groups. Discuss the importance of each food group and why it is necessary to include them in our diet. I will draw a large circle on the board to represent a plate. Students will suggest foods that could go into each section to create a balance meal. Students will interact with discussions,video clips and worksheets.
