My Menu Project

Curated and Reviewed by Lesson Planet

If you don't mind using another teacher's website, this one has a simple project that would make a nice conclusion to your nutrition unit. Using a planning worksheet and peer review, nutrition nuts create a cafe menu using healthy foods. Note that the sample completed project was created with MS Publisher, so you might not be able to view it.

Pros
  • A link to a list of food groups on the USDA website is embedded on the page
  • Allows nutrition pupils to apply what they learned throughout the unit to a real-life scenario
Cons
  • Criteria on the website differ from the expectations on the printable worksheet; you may want to choose only one of them to actually give to your students when making the assignment
