Thinking about how we get Calories from the land limits human population densities. Created by Sal Khan.
In this activity, learners burn a peanut, which produces a flame that can be used to boil away water and count the calories contained in the peanut. Learners use a formula to calculate the calories in a peanut and then differentiate between food calories and physicist calories as well as calories and joules.
The activities in this lesson help students understand how physical activity burns calories.
In this activity, students will have the opportunity to give nutritional advice to their peers and recommend a day of healthy meals to a visiting international student.
Students will use accurate nutrition information and current research-based guidelines to describe the importance of drinking water and eating a variety of nutrient-dense foods to balance nutritional needs in a variety of settings while evaluating food labels, specifically snacks the students are eating often.
Students will also demonstrate how to balance caloric intake with caloric expenditure to maintain, gain, or reduce weight in a healthy manner while reading food labels.
How many calories are in your favorite foods? How much exercise would you have to do to burn off these calories? What is the relationship between calories and weight? Explore these issues by choosing diet and exercise and keeping an eye on your weight.
In this activity, students will have the opportunity to give nutritional advice to their peers and recommend a day of healthy meals to a visiting international student.
