This guide contains 35 lesson plans with activities to engage your students in a fun and educational exploration of fruits, vegetables and healthy eating.
| Grade | Discipline | Core Idea |
|---|---|---|
| 3-5 | ESS2.A: Earth materials and systems |
Four major Earth systems interact. Rainfall helps to shape the land and affects the types of living things found in a region. Water, ice, wind, organisms, and gravity break rocks, soils, and sediments into smaller pieces and move them around. |
| 3-5 | ESS3.A: Natural resources |
Energy and fuels humans use are derived from natural sources and their use affects the environment. Some resources are renewable over time, others are not. |
| 3-5 | ESS3.C: Human impacts on Earth systems |
Societal activities have had major effects on the land, ocean, atmosphere, and even outer space. Societal activities can also help protect Earth's resources and environments. |
| 3-5 | LS1.C: Organization for matter and energy flow in organisms |
Food provides animals with the materials and energy they need for body repair, growth, warmth, and motion. Plants acquire material for growth chiefly from air, water, and process matter and obtain energy from sunlight, which is used to maintain conditions necessary for survival. |
| 3-5 | LS2.B: Cycles of matter and energy transfer in ecosystems |
Matter cycles between the air and soil and among organisms as they live and die. |
| PreK-2 | ESS2.A: Earth materials and systems |
Wind and water change the shape of the land. |
| PreK-2 | ESS3.A: Natural resources |
Living things need water, air, and resources from the land, and they live in places that have the things they need. Humans use natural resources for everything they do. |
| PreK-2 | ESS3.C: Human impacts on Earth systems |
Things people do can affect the environment but they can make choices to reduce their impacts. |
| PreK-2 | LS1.C: Organization for matter and energy flow in organisms |
Animals obtain food they need from plants or other animals. Plants need water and light. |
| PreK-2 | LS2.B: Cycles of matter and energy transfer in ecosystems |
