3. Use technology for this lesson. • In the computer lab, search for nutritional information on a fast food restaurant. • Choose a meal or at least 2 items for your visual. • Return to the class and convert the metric label information to cups and ounces. • Create a visual. Take a photo and place in a PPT to share with the class.
