Direct2U Lesson Plan
Teachers use a variety of resources from the website Food a fact of Life to teach about the importance of healthy eating.
Children then use a painting package to create a poster on healthy eating, aimed at their parents or their peers. An example is supplied W60 Science Y2X. This activity could build on the Direct2U activity above. Children will learn that an adequate diet is necessary for health and what kinds of foods are good/bad for health.
