FOODS AND HEALTHY DIET.

Introduction

Hello everybody!!

The topic that we will work are foods and healthy diet. We will discover the different nutrients that foods have and their function in our body. Also, we will know what we can do a balance diet. For this we will research about the food pyramid. 

I hope you will enjoy learning through videos, games and collaborative work. Click on Task to begin the adventure!

Process

1. You will be divided in 6 group (each of them for one kind of nutrient)

2. Each group will go to the "supermarket zone" where you will find flashcards with different foods. You should choose those that contain the nutrients assigned. 

3. Each group will research about the function that their nutrient has in our body. You can use some tools as videos or websites. 

4. Each group will show their discoveries to their mates (the name of their nutrient, foods that contain it and their function in our body)

5. Then, we will watch a video about the food pyramid. 

6. All the group will build a food pyramid together, using the flashcards used before.
