  1. Don’t Get Fooled by Fat: Nutrition and Consumer Awareness Presenter: Justin Gonzalez Class: Analyzing Schools School Placement: Belizzi Middle School Teacher Placement: Mr. Roderick 7th Grade Science

  2. Objectives: • Students will relate everyday eating habits to proper nutrition, primarily focusing on “Fat”. • Several times, students will be placed into groups and teams to discuss and recognize nutrition food labels. • The teacher will demonstrate to the students how to properly read and calculate total fat and % daily value on a given product. • Students will apply what they have learned from the teacher and will practice in groups on their own. • Students will compare and contrast estimated results to actual results. • Students will organize into teams and develop their own “fat-healthy” diets. • Students will evaluate their “fat-healthy” diets using concrete facts and calculations.

  3. Monday • Students will get into groups of 3 or 4 and be asked to estimate the total fat content of a “Big Mac” • After the students have estimated they will record their answers on the board • Teacher will hand out actual nutrition fact-sheet from McDonald’s allowing students to compare actual and estimated results

  4. 47% of Daily Value 30g of Total Fat

  5. Tuesday • The students will watch excerpts from the movie ‘Super Size Me’ showing one day’s diet; including breakfast, lunch, and dinner at McDonald’s. Excerpts will also show beginning and ending results over 30 day trial. • Students will be asked to guess how much fat is consumed between three McDonald’s meals over the course of one day • Nutrition labels will be re-circulated to show guessed versus actual results.

  6. Meal #1 29g 45% Fat Totals Meal # 2 55g 85% Fat Totals Meal # 3 65g 100% Fat Totals (w/ Fries & Soda)

  7. Total Results:3 Course Meal at McDonalds • Total Fat Consumed for entire day... • 149 grams of FAT • Recommended amount… • Less than 65 grams • % Daily Value of Fat Consumed for entire day… • 230 % Daily Value

  8. Wednesday • Students will be shown a nutrition label diagram and will be taught how to read and interpret the labels; focusing mainly on fat. • Teacher will lead the class in an experiment which involves estimating, comparing and calculating serving size, total fat, daily percent values, using peanut-butter as the medium.

  9. Thursday • Using the knowledge gained from the three previous days’ exercises, students will be again broken up into groups of 3 or 4 and will be in charge of running their own food information station [there will be 6 or 7 of these in total].

  10. Friday • Students will assemble in 5 teams to formulate and evaluate a “fat-healthy” diet using the foods and information from Thursday’s exercise.

  11. Evaluation • Students will be evaluated on how well they estimate, compare, and calculate with their experiments throughout the week and with their final “fat-healthy” diets.
