== Learning with Nutrition ==
 
Each of the nutrition games presents a different learning opportunity.
 
 
 
;Name That Food: This game is about literacy, but also provides some nutritional information about the foods as they are presented.
 
 
 
;How Many Calories?: This game introduces the concept that different foods have different nutrition value. The focus here is on calories.
 
 
 
;How Much to Eat?: This game is based upon the Food Pyramid. It introduces the concept that not all foods should be consumed in equal quantities. E.g., high-sugar-content foods should be eaten in small quantities, while grains and fruits can be eaten in larger quantities.
 
 
 
== Extending Nutrition ==
 
Have the children take pictures of the foods that they eat at home. Use the Nutrition acitvity to explore caloric intake and the degree to which they are eating a balanced meal.
 
 
 
Also ('''not yet implemented''') have the children find a food item not in the database and add it using the '''gear icon'''. They will need make a picture of the food (using Paint or Record) and look up the nutritional content of their food. (https://www.choosemyplate.gov/SuperTracker/foodapedia.aspx is a good resource.)
 
 
 
Nutrition is a good introduction to some of the concepts explored further in [[Activities/TurtleArt#Nutrition]].
