I’m on the hunt for meaningful summer projects. How about nutrition? It’s a great elective. Super Snacking is easy to follow. I like 4-H projects; they just seem a bit more balanced: My Plate, 4-H Cooking 101, Food and Fun, and Food and Nutrition. Each program has a different emphasis. Look at Get Fit, That’s It!
Nutrition has a plethora of resources, including Nutrition and Food Safety Education. Food Hero has a bingo game and scavenger hunt. Surprise! SNAP has a good curriculum. University of Wisconsin has loads and loads of links: Got Veggies?, Cooking with Kids, to name a few. Some links are broken. I love Got Milk, especially some of the site’s nutrition information.
The Homeschool Mom has suggestions for creating a nutrition program. Start at the library! Get a stack of cooking and nutrition books from the children’s stacks. Decide your approach. Will you explore cooking? Are you more interested in vitamins and minerals? Healthy lifestyle? Balanced diet? Basics? The School House has reviews of some commercial curricula. I’m an Apologia fan. This summer, let’s do practical lessons with the kiddos!
