Contained are units on nutrition that have been prepared and tested by several elementary teachers, elementary supervisors, and school food service supervisors. The units do not follow a set format. Typically, the aim of a unit is first stated, followed by concepts to be developed, and the description of activities for the unit. Sometimes there is a list of materials, including books, films, and suggested bibliography of periodicals and pamphlets. Frequently, activities are suggested that correlate with other subjects, such as science, language arts, social studies, mathematics, and physical education. In a few units, ways of evaluation are also suggested. The writers of this publication suggest that whenever possible, cooperative projects and demonstrations should be arranged with the school food service supervisor to be carried out in the school dining room or school food service preparation center. The units are designed to provide children with concrete experiences in the study of nutrition and related subjects. (BR)
