This is one of a series of units for environmental education developed by the Highline Public Schools. This unit is designed for senior high school students who have a basic knowledge of nutrition and some experience in menu planning. The five lessons provide experiences in selecting, preparing, and storing foods to attain maximum nutrition with a minimum of food waste. Lessons are designed for the standard secondary school period of 45-60 minutes; the unit is designed to take about three weeks. Each lesson includes the concept of the lesson, materials needed, procedure, evaluation procedures, and suggested additional activities. The materials were tried and evaluated; evaluation data may be obtained from the Highline Public Schools. (RH)
