Whew! This product is my best selling unit, and now it's even better... Besides 98.5 MB and 127 pages of step-by-step teacher instructions and a 290-Slide PowerPoint it is now also:
-Aligned to the Common Core Standards with standards referenced in the "Table of Contents" and in the teacher directions for each lesson.
This product is my complete 3-week Nutrition Unit. It is a unit I've been designing and improving for 17 years of teaching 9th grade Health! There is nothing canned about these lessons-they are all kid-tested, revised, edited, and have been deemed "a fun unit" by the high standards of my many 14 year old students!

Personally I feel it's one of my best units!

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.

The nutrition packet does not flow with the slides, kids were confused about skipping pages 3 and 4 and working on page 5. The information is well written and very easy to understand but notes are confusing.
February 6, 2013
Mrs. S. (TpT Seller)
Update 2/7/13: I kept thinking about what you said about the packet being confusing for your students and I figured out a way to keep my idea of all the formulas on one page, but I changed up the order of the packet and it turned out great!! Thank you again for the idea. I put page 5 as page 3 and then re-arranged everything on it so it follows the PowerPoint order and I renumbered everything too so they match. Now it will be in order and students can follow the #'s. I am going to send an update out to all those who bought the Nutrition Unit, so you'll be getting that, but if you want me to it to email you, just send me your email address and I'd be happy to. I'm really pleased with how if all came out. Thanks again, Mrs. S.
------------------------------
Thank you for your feedback. Maybe it will help you to know that I purposely put almost all the notes on page 5 so students would end up having all the formulas and their own personal totals for the nutrients all on one page. Thanks again for purchasing. Mrs. S.

As a first year health and FACS teacher, this unit has been a REAL help to me! I love all the creative projects and informative powerpoints. I've added some MyPlate information, but I like the Mayo Food Pyramid as well. It think they work well together. I AM Missing the Nutrition Test file, however... all I have is the key. Can you send it to me? Thanks! I also purchased your stress unit. Both have been very helpful.

ALREADY PURCHASED the best health curriculum and was not aware that this nutrition unit was in it. Great unit but purchased it twice for no reason.
October 23, 2012
Mrs. S. (TpT Seller)
Thank you for purchasing my curriculum! I am so sorry you didn't see the notice on the Nutrition Unit description that said it was included in the Best Health curriculum. Because you paid for something you already had, I would like to email you something you don't have. :) I am going to email you my "Sub Plans for Any High School Class (Set 1): 6 Easy to Teach, Impactful Lessons." It's one of the few things not included in the big curriculum you bought and it's great to have on hand for days when you have a substitute. Thanks again, Mrs. S.

Chelsa Roberts (TpT Seller)
This has been a really helpful unit. I have been able to incorporated many of the ideas. However, I wish that the packet was in order to the discussion and that the current USDA food charts were included. It was a little out-of-date. Also, I did not receive the files for the nutrition board game. My folders were empty. But I feel like it was worth the money.
May 10, 2012
Mrs. S. (TpT Seller)
Thanks for your review. If you reply to this and send me your email, I can send you the board game files-sorry about that-not sure what happened...I just double-checked and they are in the current download so not sure why you didn't get them. I like your idea about the packet being in the order of the lessons-I could work on that on my next revision. I just wanted to also explain that I purposely have chosen to use the Mayo Clinic Pyramid and not the USDA pyramid or "My Plate." Thanks!

Karen Fox (TpT Seller)
Great and thorough unit. I had to modify a bit to use it in Canada, but the lesson ideas are solid! Thanks.

This is a lifesaver unit because it is fully developed and the teacher does not need to do anything but follow it. Especially since this is my first year teaching health, I found this immensely helpful.

Great unit. Solid lessons. Found a few mistakes with formatting. Some of the picture details overlap, but it is very easy to edit. Definitely worth the money!

Hi Mrs. S, Can these ppts be changed once they are downloaded? I would like to purchase this for my Junior High FACS class but I want to update it myplate.
Thanks
Thanks

Thanks for your interest. Yes, you can edit and insert slides. Most of the slides can be edited within the slide too, but if you came across any slides you wanted to edit and couldn't for any reason, I could easily email them to you from the original. :) Mrs. S.

Kelley Christopherson (TpT Seller)
Hi again Mrs. S....I purchased this unit a few months ago and am waiting until Semester 2 to start it. I have looked through everything and it looks great. However the board game will not open. I asked you about this earlier and you suggested downloading Winzip or something similar. I was able to get Winzip and opened everything that way however it will not open the board game. I thought it worked, it looks like the files are there but when I click on them it says it is unable to extract. Not sure where to go from here? Are others having this problem? Thanks
January 24, 2013
Mrs. S. (TpT Seller)
Hi Kelley: No one else has had this problem, but I will be happy to email it to you if you will send me your email address (preferably not a school one because they usually have a smaller size limit). Sorry for the hassle it's been! Mrs. S.

Hi Mrs. S., I downloaded the nutrition packet and it is entirely too complex for my group of students. When I read the description, reviews, and saw the screen shots of the sample pages I thought it looked great, but now that I have downloaded it and started reading through it I am realizing it is waaaaaayyyy to difficult for my students. I do not teach health. I teach a learning support class independent living skills and wanted to do a unit on nutrition. I have no curriculum, so I turned to the internet for help. I assumed since this was for freshmen it would be ok for my students (who are learning support 10th-12th students) but the more I look at it the more I realize it would be a huge task for me to modify it to their level. I emailed the site about getting a refund and they told me I had to ask you directly. I appreciate all the work you put into the unit, but it would be entirely too far over the heads of my students. Would you be willing to give me a refund? Or at least partial?
October 25, 2012
Mrs. S. (TpT Seller)
Hi. I am sorry the Nutrition unit seems too difficult for your students. I have special ed students in all my classes, and have also taught our more severe sped students,so I know there is a lot they can get out of this unit and there are ways you could adapt it, but I understand if you don't have the time to do that. Since you've already downloaded and have the material, I can't refund your $. However, I am willing to let you pick out any other units or lessons I have posted on TPT and I will send you $26.00 of free material to compensate for the Nutrition Unit cost. Just reply and let me know what you want and I will contact TPT and have them send it to you. Thank you, Mrs. S.

Where are the packets? I just see the Nut Packet and then individual handouts....do you just put them together? Sorry....I am probably missing something.
October 21, 2012
Mrs. S. (TpT Seller)
Oh, I answered you on Oct. 14th, but you must not have gotten my response, I'm so sorry...The "Nut" packet is the "Nutrition Unit", I just abbreviated it. The key also says, "Nut" packet. If you can't figure it out, send me your email address and I'll email it to you. Mrs. S.

Everything downloaded great but in the Teacher Directions file when I click on the LESSON TITLES or HOMEWORK links it does not take me to those lessons or homework...is it suppose to? Thanks Great work BTW!
October 14, 2012
Mrs. S. (TpT Seller)
Thank you. I just checked on my original document and in the WORD versions, the titles links should be working, PDF doesn't save the internal document links. But you are right, the homework doesn't link. I will need to fix that, but the homework listed is in the unit that it is next to though, so if you try the WORD version and click on the title it should jump to the lesson and the homework will be there in that lesson too! Thanks, I always like to know if something doesn't work... Mrs. S.

Hi
Are these lessons applicable for 12th graders??
Are these lessons applicable for 12th graders??
October 11, 2012
Mrs. S. (TpT Seller)
Absolutely... I've even had college professors use the lessons with their students and love them. The unit is set up to be personalized for each student, so they get a calculator and use the formulas I give to figure how many calories THEY should have, how much protein, sugar, carbohydrates, fat, how far would they have to walk to burn off a Snicker candy bar, etc. That's applicable for any of us.
Have they had any nutrition information before? If so, you can get through some of it faster. The only thing I can think of that you might want to alter is a fast food poster project, where you might want to turn that into research and a report instead. Otherwise, they'll learn a ton about their own eating habits and how to be healthy for life! Mrs. S.

I'm sorry you are having problems opening this. Whenever this seems to happen to buyers, it's almost always the unzip program at fault. There are several folders all zipped together, so you need an unzip program to open them. They are all created in Word and also saved in PDF.
I would suggest you try a different unzip file. It's easy and free! Here are a free links for free downloads: You can download an unzip program for free. 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.
Let me know if you still can't get it. Thanks, Mrs. S.

The unit sounds great. I too was wondering about the food pyramid. Thanks for the explanation. I was wondering if there is an answer key or if answers will vary to all questions.
Thanks,
Thanks,
August 13, 2012
Mrs. S. (TpT Seller)
Hi. I'm not quite sure what you're asking about an answer key...? There is a packet that students fill out during the unit and that has a key. There is also a unit test with an answer key. Is that what you were asking? Mrs. S.

Hi. Thanks for your question and interest in my "Nutrition Unit." The answer is no, I won't be adding "My Plate," and I purposely have never used the USDA Food Pyramid, rather I like the Mayo Clinic's Food Pyramid better and have used that in my "Nutrition Unit" and will continue to do so. Here are a few reasons why: I quit using the USDA pyramid when they changed from the old triangle to the newer steps model. I was looking forward to the revised version, but I was really disappointed when I saw that they no longer say om the pyramid to eat sugar sparingly. You have to go several layers into their program to see anything about watching sugar, and then it's called "added sugars" (I noticed on the first page of the "My plate" the only foods they say to reduce are sodium and "sugary drinks" so are they telling us that fast food and cookies and candy is fine????) I also didn't like how the USDA food pyramid interactive website bases everything on 2000 calories a day rather than calories based on your weight, and I see that "My Plate" follows the same 2000 calorie average, rather than breaking calories down by weight and activity levels. So for those and a few other reasons I use the Mayo Clinic Food Pyramid and I really am happy with that one, so I'll be sticking with that one in my nutriton unit. You could easily substitute the My Plate in place of the Mayo Clinic lesson in the unit if you did buy my nutrition unit and I think you'd be really happy with everything else. Thanks for your interest and your question.
