In this nutrition activity (page 3 of the PDF), learners will record their food consumption for one day, and then evaluate how their actual diet matched up with the recommended diet. This activity was created as a pre-visit for a traveling science show, but makes a great stand-alone activity as well! The activity includes links to more information about healthy eating for kids.
