Students will explore the essential question, 'What makes for a healthy human in terms of daily caloric intake?' and craft focused, investigable questions about nutritional needs by examining cultural diets, using introductory nutritional analysis methods, and discussing relevant case studies.

Students will collaboratively design a detailed plan for investigating nutrition's role in shaping healthy human genes by crafting questions about caloric intake and macronutrient needs, developing methods to collect personal dietary data, and preparing to graphically represent findings, while incorporating reflective practices on their own eating habits and the essential question of what constitutes a healthy human.

Students will systematically collect nutrition data, survey their genetic risk factors, record their daily meals with caloric content, and compile findings to begin creating personalized nutrition graphs.

Students will interpret their collected nutritional data to identify patterns in macronutrient ratios and caloric intake, creating graphs to visually present findings and propose adjustments to their diets, followed by a class discussion to share insights on how different eating habits impact health.

Students will present their findings on their daily eating habits, nutritional analyses, and conclusions regarding the essential question, demonstrating their understanding of healthy human daily caloric intake while recognizing the limitations and gaps in their data.
