Healthy Foods Unit Plan
This healthy food choice unit provides materials to guide learning about issues such as organic food, GMOs (genetically modified organisms), and food labeling. Students research what the Bible says about food and compare and contrast that to the dietary recommendations of the United States Department of Agriculture. Students will do a taste test to compare the taste of conventional versus organic apples. At the culmination of the unit, they will present their research in a paper and a poster. Worksheets and a poster rubric are included, as well as links to informational videos.
