Middle School Biology Department:Food and Health

January 4, 2019

7H Science students created and displayed their projects this week. Many students don’t usually pay much attention to the food that they were eating on an everyday basis, so this project was a unique chance for students to reflect on their diets and live healthier lives.

Students followed the followed a detailed procedure step-by-step: First, they kept a 3-day food log of everything they ate and organized all of these foods into servings and by food groups. They then visualized the collected data in the form of graphs and tables. Meanwhile, they visited the website choosemyplate.gov to learn about government-provided food recommendations. After studying these recommendations, students tried their best to follow them as well as keeping another 3-day food log. Students were then tasked with the project of designing a poster to communicate the results of their experiment. Lastly, students had to create their own healthy meal and teach their fellow classmates the steps to make this dish via video.

Students confidently displayed the food they themselves had made to their fellow classmates. They even competed with each other to see whose meal was the healthiest. The atmosphere was competitive, lively, and full of excitement, a clear demonstration that most students not only learned a lot from the project, but enjoyed the process too.

The project ended, but students will hopefully continue to apply the healthy living choices they learned in their lives. It is these principles that can continue to guide students to live healthier lives for many years to come.
