Health and Nutrition Lesson Plan 3

In the final Discover Dairy Health and Nutrition Lesson Plan 3, students will further explore the impact of nutrition on the body by investigating what contributes to healthy bones and teeth. The aim of this lesson is for students to develop an understanding of the building blocks of healthy bones and teeth, rationalise how they can support their bones and teeth to remain healthy, as well as the many reasons for doing this. Students will explore the nutrients that can be found in bones and teeth, and consider which foods contain these nutrients. The class will also participate in a science experiment exploring the impacts of different liquids (particularly those high in sugar) on our teeth. The topic of osteoporosis will also be covered, supported by a hands-on activity that reinforces the importance of maintaining strong and healthy bones.
