Activity + Eating

Nutrition Materials for High SchoolHelp your high school students understand the essential connection between being physically active, making healthful food choices and maintaining long-term good health. A PowerPoint presentation and accompanying script will help you walk high school students through the eight-page Activity + Eating workbook.

The workbook was created using a behavior-change model that encourages healthy-eating behaviors and attitudes in your students. Students apply problem-solving, reasoning and critical-thinking techniques to their own individual habits and set goals for improvement.

Activity + Eating provides high school students with the essential nutrition concepts about:

  • Identifying hunger cues
  • Making small changes to maintain a healthy weight
  • Learning the importance of breakfast for a healthy weight and energy
  • Choosing healthy meals and snacks when rushed or dining out
  • Using hand symbols to eat appropriate serving sizes
  • Categorizing foods into food groups to choose the recommended amount of nutrient-rich foods
  • How physical activity boosts heart rate, builds muscle and bones

Teachers successfully implement Activity & Eating in a variety of high school subjects like Science, English, Health and Physical Education. Review how Activity & Eating aligns to California Nutrition Education Competencies, Grades 9-12.

Rave Reviews: What are the Teachers Saying?

Teachers love that our nutrition curriculum works so well in the classroom. The nutrition lesson plans for high school have undergone rigorous field testing to evaluate student outcomes. This process helps us to refine the lessons until they become teacher-friendly, fun for students and effective.

Here is what teachers are saying about this high school nutrition lesson plan.

My students are now monitoring their food more carefully and incorporating physical activity with their regimen. It’s helping to maintain better health. Activity & Eating was a great catalyst!

Activity & Eating motivated many students to make better and healthier food choices resulting in feeling better and looking good.

In most cases my students now ask questions about nutrition, food choices and reading labels, and they are linking this with their exercise programs! Just hearing and having these student directed discussions is a success!

Many students have said that based on what the read from the assignment that they are now using it to help educate their parents about healthy eating habits.
