Introduction
STILL HUNGRY AFTER LUNCH
a web quest
Aim This is a 3rd. grade web quest
activity in which the students will use their computor skills to navigate
the computor to find information they will need in order to design a lunchroom
menu which contains all food groups and the vitamins and minerals that
this menu will provide.
Rationale This web quest will
educate the students not only on computer navigational skills, but als
on nutrition, and the correlation between food and vitamins.The students
will also have to exhibit their social skills, since they will be working
in groups and will have to interact with one another in order to accomplish
the task. A presentation will also be required.
Goals and Objective - The outcome of this
web quest will enhance students computer navigational skills,social interacting
skills,group presentations skills, along with educating them on the value
of good nutrition, and the health benefits from the different food groups.
Audience -This web quest is designed
primarily for the 3rd. and 4th. grade student that have introductory computer
and reading skills and who work well in group activities and like to do
presentations in front of the class. However, a group may chose a spokes
person that can do the oral presentation.
Prerequisites - prior basis knowledge
of computer navigational skills and reading skills.Also they will need
to know how to organize and formulate their information into a plan of
action.
Subject-Matter - Food
groups-dairy products,protein,carbohydrates,fats and oils,friuts and
vegetables. What vitamins and minerals are derived from each food group.
Instructional Plan - The students
will be put into groups. They then would have to navigate on the computer
and research food groups,nutrition, and the correlation between food and
vitamins. They will learn the difference between a good diet with healthy
food as opposed to a diet full of junk food. Each group will then design
a good daily breakfast and lunch menu consisting of all the food groups
and then be able to explain the health benefits from the foods they have
chosen. Posters,charts, and visual aids will be encouraged. All five groups
will put their menu together to make one weekly lunch menu.
Materials A computer with designated
sites,paper,pens,pencils,posters,charts,and any visual aids the student
choses with labeling explaining the nutritional value of the contents.
Assessment and Evaluation- The students
will do their presentation in front of the class and show their daily menu
and explain the correlation between the food groups and the vitamins and
minerals. Their groups menu will then be added to the rest of the groups
menu for the final goal which is to make a weekly menu and present it to
the lunch room manager for consideration.
Their Presentation will be judge by the
rest of the class and the head chef,which is the teacher, which will
then determine if the menu meets the daily nutritial requirements. if it
does it will beaccepted into the weekly menu. If by chance it doesn't the
rest of the class will determine what changes need to be made and the appropiate
changes will be made.
