NUTRITION SCAVENGER HUNT
Students will be able to identify nutrients and additives in food. Using the nutrition scavenger hunt template, students take photos of various foods and analyze food labels. They also compare and contrast food labels and ingredients with peers. The goal is for students to identify the major nutrients that the body needs for energy and the negative impacts of excessive intake of some nutrients, vitamins, and additives.
