PERFORMANCE OBJECTIVES:

·         The student will be able to:

o        Know the percentages each nutrient requires for a balanced diet.

o        Know how essential fats, carbohydrates, and proteins are to perform daily activity.

o        Know that a balanced diet can prevent sickness, and/ or food borne diseases.

RESOURCES:

Materials: Overhead, Power Point Note on overhead slides, Power Point handouts for each student.

SAFETY CONSIDERATIONS:

The safety issues will be at a minimum for this lesson. The students will be in their own desks, in the classroom. Although, if an argument breaks out between students, we will have to take control of the situation and take action.

 

SUPLEMENTARY MATERIALS, HANDOUTS:

 

Materials will be a Fats, Carbohydrates, and Protein Power Point handout.

Potential Misconceptions

I will first hand out the Power Point notes to each of the students.

Does everyone have a highlighter, pen, or pencil?

Are we going to finish all these slides today?

I will then have the notes on the projector to show the students exactly what point in the notes I am on.

Does every ones notes go through slides 30?

Do we have to write down any information that you go over that’s not on the slides?

Teacher: it would be wise to highlight points I go over more than once, and to write down information I say is important.

Student Responses

Potential Misconceptions

Tell the students about how important Fats, Carbs, Proteins are to your diet.

Does anyone know what carbohydrates are used for?

Carbohydrates are basically sugars. They are just added to foods for flavor.

Explain how these nutrients are macronutrients and are needed in their daily diet.

Can anyone tell me the difference between a Micronutrient and a Macronutrient?

Micronutrients are small nutrients and Macronutrients are large nutrients.

Teacher: your close, actually micro means that the nutrients are needed in small amounts in your diet. Macro means the nutrients are needed in large amounts in your diet.

Probing Questions

Student Responses

Potential Misconceptions

Begin breaking down the percentages of intake your diet requires of each nutrient.

What percentage of fats is required for your daily intake?

Why do we need more carbohydrates than protein in our diets?

Tell the students that the percentages change depending on the amount of physical activity they perform each day.

Does a person who performs little to moderate exercise need more or less fats, carbs, proteins, than a person who exercises at a high level?

Why wouldn’t a person who doesn’t exercise need more protein to help them maintain weight?

 

Elaboration

 

Time: ________

What the Teacher Will Do

Probing Questions

Student Responses

Potential Misconceptions

I will break it down into how many calories there are in each gram of Fats, carbohydrates, proteins.

How many calories are in one gram of Carbohydrates, and how different if it than proteins?

Why are fats double the amount of calories in carbohydrates and proteins?

Discuss the different types of carbohydrates, proteins, and fats.

Why are there different types of fats, and are some types better than others?

All fats are the same and are all equally bad

Student Responses

Potential Misconceptions

Show the students a 10 minute video clip over fats, carbohydrates, and proteins.

Can everyone here the clip?

I didn’t realize there were fats that are worse than fats.

I will ask warm up questions at the beginning of class tomorrow over the material we discussed today.

 

Are the warm-up questions going to be on the test?
