Food Pyramid
LESSON PLAN
BY: CHARITY LAND
Standards
 The National Academy of Sciences provides guidelines for teaching science in
grades K�12 to promote scientific literacy. To view the standards, visit this Web
site:books.nap.edu/html/nses/html/overview.html#content.
This lesson plan addresses the following national standards:Science in Personal
and Social Perspectives: Personal and community health
Student Objectives
 Describe the six color bands on MyPyramid and what each represents.
 Select a variety of food items from one food group and determine whether they
are nutritious choices.
 Use charts to determine recommended individual nutrition recommendations.
 Create a menu of healthy food choices for breakfast, lunch, dinner, and a snack.
Materials
 Food Smarts: MyPyramid for Kids video.
 Supermarket advertisements (There should be enough for each student to find
foods from each food group.)
 Plain paper (8½" x 11" or larger)
 Scissors
 Glue or glue sticks
 Copies of the charts found at
www.mypyramid.gov/downloads/
MyPyramid_Calorie_Levels.pdfand
www.mypyramid.gov/downloads/
MyPyramid_Food_Intake_Patterns.pdf
Procedures
 After watching the first segment of the video, open a class discussion on eating
habits. What are their favorite foods? Which groups do these foods belong in? Which
foods do they like the least? Why?
 Divide students into five groups and assign each a food group. Distribute the
supermarket circulars to each group.
 Have students go through the circulars and cut out the food items that belong to their
food group. (It's fine to have several copies of the same type of food
e.g., cheese, these will be needed later.) Have the groups discuss and answer the
following questions:
 What are the health benefits of eating from this food group?
 What foods belong in the wide part of this food group�s color band? (Foods that should
be eaten more often.)
 What foods belong in the narrow part of the band? (Foods that should be eaten less often.)
Procedures Cont.
 Using the MyPyramid charts, have each student determine how many calories
per day he or she should have and how much of this food should be eaten every
day.
 Have each student select four or five of the cut out food items that they think
belong in the wide part of the band.
 Form new groups made up of one student from each of the original groups. (Each
group should have one member with cutouts of grains, one with vegetables, etc.)
 Ask the students to work together to form a nutritious meal plan using the food
items they brought from their first group. They should decide on
breakfast, lunch, and dinner, as well as a snack. Give each group a large piece of
paper on which they can glue their choices. They may want to draw rows and
columns with labels.
Procedures Cont.
 When the meal plans are done have each group report to the class on the choices
they made. Did they pick different colors of fruits and vegetables? Did they
remember to select whole grains? If they chose fried foods, ice cream, or other
foods high in fat or sugar, refer back to MyPyramid and ask which part of the
color band those foods would belong in.
Technology Needed
 A SMARTboard to show the Food Smarts: MyPyramid for Kids video.
Assessment
 Use the following three-point rubric to evaluate students' work during this lesson.
 3 points: The student accurately described what each color band on MyPyramid
represents, correctly identified a number of foods within the assigned food group and
determined whether each food was a nutritious choice, calculated his or her
individual calorie needs, and created a well-balanced menu plan.
 2 points: The student described what some color bands on MyPyramid
represent, correctly identified some foods within the assigned food group and was
able to point out a few of the more nutritious choices, calculated his or her individual
calorie requirements, and created a somewhat balanced menu plan.
 1 point: Student did not describe what any of the color bands on MyPyramid
represent, did not identify foods within the assigned food group or determine which
foods were the more nutritious choices, was unable to calculate his or her individual
calorie requirements, and did not create a balanced menu plan.

Food pyramid Lesson Plan

  • 2. Standards  The National Academy of Sciences provides guidelines for teaching science in grades K�12 to promote scientific literacy. To view the standards, visit this Web site:books.nap.edu/html/nses/html/overview.html#content. This lesson plan addresses the following national standards:Science in Personal and Social Perspectives: Personal and community health
  • 3. Student Objectives  Describe the six color bands on MyPyramid and what each represents.  Select a variety of food items from one food group and determine whether they are nutritious choices.  Use charts to determine recommended individual nutrition recommendations.  Create a menu of healthy food choices for breakfast, lunch, dinner, and a snack.
  • 4. Materials  Food Smarts: MyPyramid for Kids video.  Supermarket advertisements (There should be enough for each student to find foods from each food group.)  Plain paper (8½" x 11" or larger)  Scissors  Glue or glue sticks  Copies of the charts found at www.mypyramid.gov/downloads/ MyPyramid_Calorie_Levels.pdfand www.mypyramid.gov/downloads/ MyPyramid_Food_Intake_Patterns.pdf
  • 5. Procedures  After watching the first segment of the video, open a class discussion on eating habits. What are their favorite foods? Which groups do these foods belong in? Which foods do they like the least? Why?  Divide students into five groups and assign each a food group. Distribute the supermarket circulars to each group.  Have students go through the circulars and cut out the food items that belong to their food group. (It's fine to have several copies of the same type of food e.g., cheese, these will be needed later.) Have the groups discuss and answer the following questions:  What are the health benefits of eating from this food group?  What foods belong in the wide part of this food group�s color band? (Foods that should be eaten more often.)  What foods belong in the narrow part of the band? (Foods that should be eaten less often.)
  • 6. Procedures Cont.  Using the MyPyramid charts, have each student determine how many calories per day he or she should have and how much of this food should be eaten every day.  Have each student select four or five of the cut out food items that they think belong in the wide part of the band.  Form new groups made up of one student from each of the original groups. (Each group should have one member with cutouts of grains, one with vegetables, etc.)  Ask the students to work together to form a nutritious meal plan using the food items they brought from their first group. They should decide on breakfast, lunch, and dinner, as well as a snack. Give each group a large piece of paper on which they can glue their choices. They may want to draw rows and columns with labels.
  • 7. Procedures Cont.  When the meal plans are done have each group report to the class on the choices they made. Did they pick different colors of fruits and vegetables? Did they remember to select whole grains? If they chose fried foods, ice cream, or other foods high in fat or sugar, refer back to MyPyramid and ask which part of the color band those foods would belong in.
  • 8. Technology Needed  A SMARTboard to show the Food Smarts: MyPyramid for Kids video.
  • 9. Assessment  Use the following three-point rubric to evaluate students' work during this lesson.  3 points: The student accurately described what each color band on MyPyramid represents, correctly identified a number of foods within the assigned food group and determined whether each food was a nutritious choice, calculated his or her individual calorie needs, and created a well-balanced menu plan.  2 points: The student described what some color bands on MyPyramid represent, correctly identified some foods within the assigned food group and was able to point out a few of the more nutritious choices, calculated his or her individual calorie requirements, and created a somewhat balanced menu plan.  1 point: Student did not describe what any of the color bands on MyPyramid represent, did not identify foods within the assigned food group or determine which foods were the more nutritious choices, was unable to calculate his or her individual calorie requirements, and did not create a balanced menu plan. 
