In order to make the perfect menu, you must draw upon what you’ve learned
about nutrition. Based on this knowledge about nutrition, you are only
offering healthy food choices. This ensures that your guests can get an
optimal amount of nutrients. It is up to you to make a complete menu for your
friends. Also, take some time to learn about serving sizes and create a display
that will show them accurately how much of each item they should be serving
themselves. Finally, create a final total of the amount of food that you will
need for your party so that you can go to the store prepared.

-Create a display for each of the foods you will be serving that includes a
picture of common item (such as a small food description tag to place in front
of the dish). This will help your guests compare the amount of food that they
should put on their plates with an every day item.
- Use the number of guests you invited, the menu that you created, and your
knowledge of serving sizes to determine how much TOTAL food you will need
to buy. To do this, you must create an itemized list of each food with the total
amount for each product.

Now that you’ve completed the WebQuest, you will have a solid
understanding of what it takes to build a menu. Not only that, but now you
have a real grasp of what a serving size is and the everyday objects that you
can relate it to. Better yet, you’ve shared this with the guests to your World
Series Party! This knowledge is now for you and your friends to apply to the
things you eat every day. Maybe you now realize something in your eating
habits that you would like to change..? The Nutrition Game is yours to win!

This lesson was developed as a part of EDUC 331 at Colorado State University in order to gain experience in creating and publishing a WebQuest.
This lesson is intended to give students a deeper understanding of the components of nutrition. More specifically, this is an exercise to help students better understand and apply appropriate serving sizes using everyday objects.

This lesson is intended for seventh grade students in any health and wellness program which incorporates nutrition into its curriculum. Also, this lesson involves critical thinking, creativity, and math skills . Adjusting this lesson slightly would make it usable in other grade levels as well.
Learners need to have a basic knowledge of nutrition and the major food groups. Other basic knowledge of nutrition would be helpful, but is not necessary for completing this WebQuest

As a result of this lesson, students will have a solid understanding as to the importance of serving sizes.
Science Standards Addressed
-Understand serving sizes as given by the USDA and MyPyramid-Apply MyPyramid to daily dieting-Using appropriate tools, technologies and measurements-Gather and organize data-Report results
This lesson also encourages students to think creatively and critically. Students must also be able to compromise the foods that they would typically like to serve at a World Series Party with other choices that would be more healthy and nutrient dense. Students are also required to be considerate of other people, thinking about what their friends may or may not want to snack on.

-Determine the number of guests-Review the five major food groups using MyPyramid (click here to review)-Formulate a healthy, incorporating at least 4 of the 5 major food groups-Use the information provided below, determine appropriate serving sizes for each item
-http://www.5aday.org/html/consumers/serving.php-http://www.nhlbi.nih.gov/chd/Tipsheets/sevenways.htm-http://pbskids.org/itsmylife/body/foodsmarts/article3.html-http://tinyurl.com/u9l7d-http://www.urbanext.uiuc.edu/thriftyliving/tl-serving_sizes.html
-Create a display for each of the foods, such as a small food description tag to be placed in front of the dish, which includes a visual. This will help guests compare the amount of food that they should put on their plates with an every day item. - Use the number of guests, the menu, and prior/gained knowledge of serving sizes to determine how much TOTAL food will need to be purchased. To do this, students must create an itemized list of each food with the total amount for each product.
About the Process…
To complete this assignment, students should be allowed to place themselves into groups of two or three. Students will need about three class periods, giving ample time to complete the research, create creative food descriptions tags for each item, and develop a final list of items to be bought.
Students may need clairication or an example of what a food description tag may look like. It is suggested that the teacher creates one before presenting the project. The tag should be a piece of paper (perhaps ¼ of a page) which is folded in half so that it can be easily placed in front of a dish. The tag should include the name of the item, the serving size, and a visual representation of an object that guests could refer to.
There are no specific requirements that a teacher would need to make this lesson efficient. A novice teacher could definitely use this WebQuest in their classroom.
Variations…
To modify this project, students could be asked to make a chart of the items to be served, serving sizes, and objects, rather than creating food description tags. Also, students could not be required to compile a final list of items for their World Series Party.

It will be obvious how successful this lesson was by how in-depth and clear the menu and food description tags are. The final list of food items to be purchased before the party will also be specific and accurate. This, of course, should be tightly related to the standards and objectives you cited above.

After this project, each student should have a deeper and more solid understanding as to components of the food pyramid and appropriate serving sizes. Hopefully students understand the importance of incorporating foods from all of the major food groups in order to enjoy a complete and nutrient dense diet. Encourage students to take this knowledge and apply it to their lives.
