First Lesson 1 Hour of More of Physical Activity per day (3/21)
The goal of our lesson is to educate students on the importance of physical activity.

PES Statement: Physical inactivity related to food and nutrition-related knowledge deficit
concerning health benefits of physical activity as evidenced by large amounts of screen time and
survey results.
Outcome Objectives:
By the end of the lesson, 80% of students will be able to identify that 1 hour or more of physical
activity per day is necessary.
By the end of the lesson,100% of students will be able to identify 2 types of physical activity.
By the end of the lesson, 80% of students will be able to identify 2 benefits of physical activity.

Lesson Plan

1. Introductory Lesson - We will begin the lesson by getting students involved through a
review of the benefits of physical activity, how much physical activity per day is appropriate,
and have students identify what activities count as physical activity. We will have a poster board
on the cork board (or taped to the wall if not available) provided that will have 3 categories
(poster will be decorated to intrigue students).

HOW MUCH
PHYSICAL
ACTIVITY SHOULD
YOU PARTICIPATE
IN PER DAY?
WHICH OF THE
FOLLOWING
COUNT AS
PHYSICAL
ACTIVITY?
LIST 5 HEALTH
BENEFITS OF
PHYSICAL
ACTIVITY:
10 minutes Running
15 minutes Watching television
30 minutes Dancing
45 minutes Playing video games
with a friend

1 hour or more All of the above


2. Relay Race with prizes Once students are comfortable enough to participate after the
introductory lesson, we will ask students to participate in a relay race that will result in prizes.
Students will be broken up into 2 or 3 teams depending on how many students are at the after
school program that day. The relay race will begin with the first student running a short distance
to a designated spot. This spot will have the question How much physical activity per day
should you participate in? the correct answer is 1 hour or more, once the student answers the
question correctly, the next student can run to the next destination which will have a jump rope.
That student will have to jump rope 5 complete times, once that student completes the task, the
third student can run to the next destination. At this destination the student will have to answer
the question write 3 forms of physical activity on a paper provided, once the student answers
correctly, the fourth student may run to the next destination. This destination will have 4 index
cards (labeled 1-4) with health effects of physical activity written on them: Physical Activity
makes you gain weight, physical activity will help maintain strong bones/muscles/and joints,
physical activity has no effect on a person's health, or physical activity is only necessary if you
are overweight. Once the student holds up the correct index card physical activity will help
maintain strong bones/muscles/and joints, the final student can proceed to the final destination.
This student must run all the way to the last destination and race back to the beginning spot of
the relay race, students are encouraged to cheer on their teammates in an appropriate manner.
The winning team will all win a prize (jump rope or football)

3. Lesson Review with Prizes During the lesson review, we will provide students with
blueberry infiwater to cool down from the relay race. We will review what they have learned in
the introductory lesson through a quick written quiz to obtain information for our final report and
to see if we have reached our goals and objectives. The quiz will be as follows:

Circle the answer you believe to be correct:
1. How much time of physical activity is necessary per day? 15 minutes 30 minutes 1 hour
2. List 2 types of physical activity.
a.
b.
3. List 2 health benefits of physical activity
a.
b.
Students will also be given an activity log handout to bring home so that they can track their
physical activity each day.

Note: Attached to all prizes given out will be a little paper with tips on how to incorporate
physical activity into everyday life, benefits of physical activity, or information on the 5210
program.

Shopping List:
- 2 colored poster boards (blue and green)
- 3 jump ropes
- small paper cups (16 ounces)
- 3 mini sports balls (footballs, basketballs, baseballs)
- Frozen blueberries (small package)

Second Lesson 0 sugary beverages (3/28)
The goal of this lesson will be to educate children on the high sugar contents in many
beverages.

PES Statement Food and nutrition related knowledge deficit as related to lack of nutrition-
related education as evidenced by inaccurate responses concerning the amount of sugar in
specified beverages

Outcome objectives:

75% of students will be able to read labels and identify serving sizes and amount of sugar per
serving.

80% of students will be able to accurately arrange beverages from lowest sugar to highest sugar
with at least 70% (5 out of 7)

80% of students will be able to name 2 different negative outcomes that drinking sugary
beverages have on health.

Lesson Plan:
1. Introductory lesson: Students will be asked to name some of their favorite beverages and
how often they drink them. Students will then be asked to place sugar cubes in front of a
beverage (coca cola, gatorade, red bull, milk, ice tea (sweetened) to guess how much sugar it
contains. Afterwards I will show them the actual amount of sugar in the beverage. Students will
then receive a small lecture on some of the negative health impacts that sugary beverages have
on health. Examples of better drink choices will be mentioned, to replace sugary beverages and
the health benefits of water will also be discussed.

2. Serving size hands- on activity During this activity, children will be given a glass and
be asked to pour out what they would normally drink when they have a glass of juice. After each
student has poured themselves a glass, I will pour a myself glass that contains one serving. One
serving is an 8oz glass of 100% fruit juice so for this activity that is how much will be poured out
. The children will be able to compare their glasses of 100% juice with the sample serving size.
The point of this lesson is to educate the children on portion sizes. When reading labels, if they
do not take into account serving sizes, then the labels can be very misleading. After the activity I
will lecture for a bit about the benefits of eating fruits over drinking fruit juices and the
difference between 100% juice and fruit drinks. Students will learn that fruit drinks often
contain very little actual fruit juice, and are in fact mostly water and added dyes and sugars.
Students will also learn new ways that they can incorporate fruit flavors into their beverages
without added sugars, for example, fruit essence water, or watering down juices to reduce
concentration.



3. Beverage Comparison lesson- Students will first be educated on drinks that are
considered to be sometimes healthy but are in fact are actually loaded with sugar, such as
many fruit juices. The lecture will also include different words that are used on labels to hide
added sugar (e.g. high fructose corn syrup, dextrose, maltodextrin, agave nectar, etc.) A handout
will be passed around showing the sugar content of common drinks. Examples of sugar dense
beverages will be given and students will be able to look at bottles of soda and juice. They will
be asked to identify the serving size for the specific drink, the amount of sugar per serving and
how many servings are in that specific container. Students will then also be asked to identify
sources of sugar in the beverage. Afterwards students will engage in another activity to help us
assess if we have met our outcome objectives. In this activity, students will be asked to rank a
number of different beverages from lowest sugar to highest sugar. On a table students will be
asked to arrange index cards with numbers on them. (1 being lowest sugar to 7 being highest
sugar). Students will be required to arrange milk, water, orange juice, ice tea, Gatorade, Coca
Cola, and a naked smoothie drink. The % accuracy of each student and of overall students will
be assessed and documented in order to assess if we completed our outcome objective..



4. Review With Prizes During this time I will briefly review all of the information we
have discussed. I will go over negative health impacts drinking sugary beverages has on health,
identify other drinks that can be supplemented for sugary drinks, and how to properly read a food
label.
Students will each be given a short quiz to take to help us identify our last outcome
objective
QUIZ: Name two negative health impacts associated with drinking sugary beverages


Shopping List:
- Jug of Orange juice 1 gallon
-16 oz cups (about 20)
