Lesson 1 (Week 2)

Introduction - All Year 3 together

How can we make Healthy Choices about eating nutritious food?

Students see if they can create a "kid pyramid" to show the "Healthy Food Pyramid" using actual foods.
Compare what they created to the actual pyramid shown below:

Watch this clip on nutrients in food:

Read 1 Corinthians 6:19-20 and 1 Corinthians 10:31

Look at this plate of food.

How does it compare to the food pyramid?

Go back to your own classes and complete the MyPlate activity in Seesaw.

Lesson 2 (Week 3)

All Year 3 Together:

1. Look at the letters NEWSTART - they are an acronym. An acronym has a group of letters that stand for words.

2. The teacher will scroll through and talk about the screens on the right to see what the letters stand for.

3. Think about the lesson last week to remind yourself what the best nutritious foods are that we should eat.

Back in your own rooms:

4. Complete writing this acronym on your worksheet and add it to your Topic books.

Weeks 4 and 7 (3S),

Weeks 5 and 8 (3P),

Weeks 6 and 9 (3I)

Lesson 1 (Weeks 4,5,6)

PROCESSED FOOD vs WHOLE FOOD EXPERIMENT

Watch to see the difference between whole and processed foods:

Watch how apples are a whole food:

Watch how Macdonald's fries are processed:

We will be conducting this experiment at school. Today we will be setting up our experiment. If you are working from home today, ask your parents to help you pick one processed food item and one fruit.

The purpose of this experiment is to compare and contrast whole food and processed food. Follow the steps below to set up your experiment.

The teacher will show processed food items (McDonald's fries) and one piece of whole food (apple)
Empty the fries onto one paper plate and cut the apple into quarters and place the quarters onto another paper plate.
Write the date on a sticky note underneath each plate.
With iPads, each student is to take a photo of the plates to compare to what they think these items will look like at the next lesson (in 3 weeks' time).
Find a safe place to store the experiment where it won't be moved throughout the weeks

Question: What will change in the whole and processed food over time?

Hypothesis: You need to write down what you think will happen. You should write down your thoughts for both organic and processed food.

Make a list of the equipment that you have used so far e.g. Apple, Macdonald's fries, plate, pencil, paper

Copy this procedure onto your sheet and glue the sheet into your topic book:

a. Collect one processed food (fries) and one organic food (apple)

b. Place on a plate somewhere safe (that will not be moved)

c. Take a photo to keep as a record and predict what will happen

d. Leave for a couple of weeks

e. Next lesson take a photo of what has changed

f. Complete the observations page

You are done. We will continue this experiment next lesson.

Lesson 2 (Weeks 7,8,9)

PROCESSED FOOD vs WHOLE FOOD EXPERIMENT

What happened to the apple and fries?

Were you expecting the processed food to be yuckier because whole food is better for you?

Have a look at this:

Teaching Point:

All living organisms, including the Microorganisms that are part of what causes food spoilage, eat the same general thing - food that is high in nutrients.

Many of our modern processed foods are often designed to appeal to humans, but are low in nutrition and include preservatives. A human might think of processed foods as more appetizing than a vegetable, but microorganisms aren’t as easy to fool.

TIP: Food spoils because of: air and oxygen, moisture, light, microbial growth, and temperature. So it isn’t only explained by microbial growth alone. With that said, microbes require oxygen and light, and thrive at certain temperatures.

Today we will be observing and comparing changes within our processed and whole food. If you are working from home today, you will need to have a look at your experiment plate from last week.

The purpose of this experiment is to compare and contrast whole food and processed food. Follow the steps below to complete your experiment.

Have a look at your photo from last lesson. Has anything changed? Is anything the same? Why do you think this has happened?
Take a photo of the food plate now that it has been out for 3 weeks
Complete the other page of this worksheet.

a. Write a detailed description of what has happened to each piece of food.

b. Answer the question: What have you learned from this experiment? Will you make different choices now?

Upload photos of food from the first and second lesson to Seesaw. Take a photo of your worksheets and upload them to Seesaw alongside your photos of the food.
