Healthy Lunch Investigation Notebook
Students complete a research notebook that records their questions, evidence from texts and interviews, food group sorting notes, lunch box sketches, and personal conclusions about healthy meals. It shows each student’s own understanding of how food helps the body and what evidence supports their ideas.
Healthy School Lunch Expo Menu Proposal and Presentation
Teams create a formal menu proposal and short presentation with shared findings, model lunch designs, evidence charts, and explanations of why their suggested changes support healthy bodies and learning. The presentation must include each member’s contributions, note any disagreements or unusual findings, and explain how the team revised ideas after feedback.
