Choice, Control & Change : LiFE Curriculum Series (LiFE 3)

 by Pamela A. Koch, Isobel R. Contento and Angela Calabrese Barton

In this module, students learn science through studying diet and activity choices. They learn about how the human body works, and how food and activity play a role in its well-being. Students engage in hands-on investigations of food preference, our food environment, energy intake and expenditure, lifestyle-related diseases, and more. Finally, they explore and analyze their personal food choices through scientific reasoning and apply what they have learned to personal decisions related to their diet, physical activity, and overall health.
