A Fun Way to Learn How Cutting Calories Leads to Weight Loss Lesson

SELLER
After this interactive lesson, your students will really understand the concept of calories-and it's fun too! Students will analyze a teenage boy named Joe's unhealthy eating (Every day he's having a Snickers candy bar, pizza, bread sticks, etc.) and then they will help Joe cut food to drop 500 calories a day, thus losing a lb. a week. Food labels are included!
THIS LESSON IS INCLUDED IN MY 3-WEEK NUTRITION UNIT AND IN THE BEST HEALTH CURRICULUM: A COMPLETE SEMESTER OF HEALTH LESSON PLANS.
This is a great way for students to see that cutting 500 calories can be a realistic way to lose weight (some students will realize that Joe could just eat half the box of Mac n' Cheese he's having for a snack and that would equal 500 calories and that is a realistic adjustment in life!).
Included in this lesson are:
-26 pages of step-by-step teacher directions
-a 42-Slide PowerPoint that includes: an explanation of calories, the formula to figure out how many calories they should eat, negative aspects of dieting, the difference good food choices can make, and the importance of exercise.
-an Obesity PowerPoint
-a Portion sizes PowerPoint

TOP 10 “FAVORITE LESSONS” SERIES: {Click on the description below}
In my 17 years of teaching Health and designing hundreds of lessons, these are my top 10 favorite lessons. First, I love teaching them because they present powerful, and valuable lessons for teens; and second, they’re favorites because they’re engaging and students have fun while they learn.
1. Food Label Scavenger Hunt. This lesson is my #1 seller. After students have read 42 food labels, they totally understand how to decipher the information on any food label!
2. Life Stories Project. The 3-Day project will have your students learning to embrace the hardships that make up their life stories, and sharing personal experiences they might not have otherwise talked about.
3. Alcohol Refusal Skills. This lessons starts with an interactive PowerPoint quiz on “Peer Pressure Lines,” continues with a true story about a dad who allowed his son to have an alcohol party in their basement, and ends with small group role-plays. Very powerful!
4. Fat and Sugar Nutrition Lab: Turn your classroom into a science lab to show your students the fat and sugar in 15 different products. Products sheets are included.
5. Dangerous Decisions Activity. Help Teens Realize the Consequences of 14 different risky behaviors they may be tempted by.
6. “Intervention” Addiction Lesson. Using “Intervention” T.V. Show to teach your students about addiction and treatment. Very powerful. This lesson teaches itself!
7. Nutrition Media Literacy. Have fun showing your students how food manufacturers manipulate us to buy their products. Kids will be surprised by what they learn.
8. Narcotics Dangers “Pharm Parties“ Lesson. Simulate a “Pharmaceutical Party” and help your student understand the dangers of narcotics, including prescription pills.
9. Fast Food Lesson. Help students analyze healthy versus unhealthy fast food restaurant choices.
10. Sexual Pressures Flip Charts. Help your students come up with assertive answers to sexual pressure lines.

Can't download and open.

Mrs. S. (TpT Seller)
If the product didn't download, you'll need to contact TeachersPayTeachers using the link at the bottom of the webpage (sellers don't have anything to do with the downloading-it's all on TPS's end) If the product did download but you just can't open it, you probably don't have a program to unzip it. The lesson is several documents, PowerPoints and folders all zipped together and it's easy to get a free unzip program and then it will open.
The link for the Mac version for an unzip is:
http://download.cnet.com/MacZip/3000-2250_4-10025248.html
If you have a PC, just google "free unzip program". There's one called winzip and many others.
I hope this helps!

Mrs. S. (TpT Seller)
I'm not sure why it's not opening...??? Each document is in PDF as well. Do you have a program to "unzip" the file? It's several documents zipped into one file so you need an unzip program. If you don't have one you can download one for free at:
The link for the Mac version is:
http://download.cnet.com/MacZip/3000-2250_4-10025248.html
If you have a PC, just google "free unzip program". There's one called winzip and many others.
Or, you can email TeachersPayTeachers and ask them to help you. They are really helpful. Thanks, I hope you get it open and like the lesson. Mrs. S.
