What can be learned from food labels? Why is the information important?
Food labels contain information on serving size, servings per container, calories, and nutrients in foods. The information is useful for making healthy food choices.
Student reflections on the Comparing Serving Sizes worksheet (Use the teacher-created lab sheets available under “Teacher Resources” on the electronic curriculum.)
- What are students’ preconceived ideas about serving size?
- How do students’ ideas about serving size align with the recommended amounts? Are there particular food groups where students typically exceed or fail to meet the recommended amounts?
