Pizza offers so many important nutrients!

Now that the 8th grade students have several foods' labs behind them things are settling down a bit. Each class was able to get their pizza lab completed on time. The students also did very well with clean up tasks this week.  The 8th graders made cheese pizza in their lab this week. The students did a nice job making the dough and assembling the pizzas. I was impressed with how well the pizza crusts turned out. The students also did a fine job consuming their pizzas.

The 7th grade students continued their investigation of nutrition.  The students worked in the computer lab to create a Photo Story describing one of the essential nutrients needed to keep us healthy.  Each student was able to identify a nutrient and provide information about its function in the body. Students also included specific food sources that supply these nutrients.  Nice job!
