10 Minute Lesson Plan

These lessons plans were developed for grade school teachers to use to teach nutrition but also meet curriculum standards for health. These lessons are developed to only take 10 minutes to teach, which is important for teachers who have limited time to incorporate this valuable information into the curriculum. The topic of these lesson plans is the value of dark green and orange vegetables. There are four separate lessons for specific grades and aptitude levels.  The lession for K-3 grades was presented to 20, 1st graders with a great response.

Experimental Foods

The purpose of this project was to take an unhealthy food and make it healthy yet still tasteful. I choose to rework a favorite of young children, sloppy joes. The goal was to take a sloppy joe and make it high fiber, low sodium, and low fat.  To accomplishe this, I choose to make it a vegetarian sloppy joe out of rice, vegetables and an original sauce. The project was done over a semester period and each week the recipe was changed slightly to get the best product possible.
