Square Foot Nutrition Project Gets Energetic with Nutrition in P.E. |
SFNP offers lesson plans for Health and Fitness Professionals that integrate basic nutritional concepts into regularly scheduled P.E. classes. These lessons increase students’ ability to meet benchmarks in Health and Fitness. Lessons include active learning games and team activities that help students:
- Identify how nutrients from a variety of healthy foods affect physical performance and health
- Learn about the structure and function of human body systems
- Recognize and understand the benefits of physical fitness and nutrition
- Improve self esteem, social skills and the ability to interact responsibly with others
A trained WSU educator visits your P.E. classroom with one or two lessons that integrates basic nutrition information with your physical education class. WSU educators use contemporary teaching tools and colorful, safe equipment designed to teach students how to make healthy food and fitness choices. A teacher manual with additional lesson plans and resources is available for further support of nutrition education throughout the school year.
To reinforce the learning delivered by the WSU educator, we ask that health and fitness professionals contribute additional time or cost share dedicated to nutrition education for their students. Teachers have the entire school year to complete their required hours. They may draw upon the lesson plans and resources in the teacher manual, receive additional support time from the WSU educator, schedule field day visits or help with planned nutrition-related activities at other school events.
