This guide to nutrition education can be used as a basis for curriculum development at the school district level, as well as a basis for daily lesson planning by teachers. It is arranged by topic, subtopic, terminal and enabling objectives, learner activities, and teacher information. The topics and subtopics identify the broad areas of nutrition. These topics are: the development of food, the uses of food, factors influencing eating patterns, and food advertisements. The terminal and enabling objectives indicate goals to be achieved and the means of achieving them. The learner activities are intended to assist pupils in achieving the lesson goals. The teacher information section provides teachers with information needed to facilitate the implementation of the learner activities. A bibliography of reading material suitable for children from kindergarten through the third grade is appended. (JD)
