Objectives

Since I am a secondary education teacher, please comment if these are too advanced for 4th graders.

Some objectives for our Nutrition lesson plan might be:
Students will identify 2 foods from each group of the food group pyramids.
Students will list the 8 essential vitamins & minerals for a healthy body and give an example of foods that contain these nutrients.
Students will write a menu of healthy food choices for each meal in the day.
Students will demonstrate 2 exercises good for a workout and explain how many calories are burned during a 15 minute workout.
Students will describe why water is important in a healthy diet.

I imagine with the health issues facing America's children today, this will be a lesson plan that gets a lot of use in school. I look forward to reading more objectives.
