| == 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.
| |
| | |
| ;Is This a Balanced Meal?: This game is also based on the Food Pyramid. It generates meals and asks if they are nutritionally balanced. More cookies and cake than fruit and grains?
| |
| | |
| == 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]].
| |
| | |
| == Modifying Nutrition ==
| |
| | |
| Add your own foods by adding images to the images directory and adding to the table in game.py
