Food Guide Pyramid: A Guide to Daily Food Choices. Have the students make a food pyramid; Three columns for: Proteins, carbohydrates, and fats with the description of the nutrient Go further with the other three nutrients? Vitamins, Minerals, Water? The Life Cycle (Flow of energy) Energy flows from Sunlight (photosynthesis) To organic substances (autotrophs) between Organisms to Living Systems Chemical energy in these organic substances are/can be transferred to other organic compounds or to those that consume food (heterotrophs) This process: getting energy from food is a process called cellular respiration.

For the mentally challenged students, I will have them bring an empty can with the product label to make a chart. S/He could copy that information and use that as a chart. Too many numbers will confuse them. If this is too tough, I will use recipe ingredients and go that route. I will also set up a calorie chart for the whole class to visually see that shows: Sleeping 65 Sitting 100 Walking slowly 200 Swimming 500 Running 570 Walking up stairs 1100
 * Activity Calories**

Also explain each day what calories are; an average 5th/6th grades needs to take in about 2,400 calories a day. Energy/Growth happens all of the time throughout our lifetime.

Assessment will be: Daily participation Pop Quiz Final Test Reflection Journal Use of Various Charts I will also accept the special education students pairing up with an advanced student/s
