TEKS ADDRESSED:

§115.32. Health 1, Grades 9-10 (One-Half Credit).

(b) Knowledge and skills.

(1) Health information. The student analyzes health information and applies strategies for enhancing and maintaining personal health throughout the life span. The student is expected to:

(A) relate the nation's health goals and objectives to individual, family, and community health;

(B) examine the relationship among body composition, diet, and fitness;

(D) describe the causes, symptoms, and treatment of eating disorders;

CONCEPT STATEMENT:

Fats, Carbohydrates, and Proteins are an essential part of your everyday diet. The energy required to perform everyday activities is derived from these three nutrients. Students should realize the importance of a balanced diet, daily intake percentages, and an overall healthy diet.

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.

Engagement		Time: ________
What the Teacher Will Do	Probing Questions	Student Responses 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.

Exploration		Time: ________
What the Teacher Will Do	Probing Questions	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.

Explanation		Time: ________
What the Teacher Will Do	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

Evaluation		Time: ________
What the Teacher Will Do	Probing Questions	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?

Is Fitness Important to Everyday Life?
