What is a Healthy Diet?

Driving Question:  What is a healthy diet?

Final Product: Create a one week diet plan based on a specific goal.

Supplemental Questions:
Why can't I eat dessert all the time?
If you had to survive by eating only one food, what would it be?
How can we affect hunger in our community?
Why do we breathe?
How do we get energy?
How do organisms obtain and use the matter and energy they need to live and grow?



Standards:

5.  Students can use the full range of science and engineering practices to make sense of natural phenomena and solve problems that require understanding how individual organisms are configured and how these structures function to support life, growth, behavior and reproduction.

​GLE 3: Organisms use matter and energy to live and grow.

Students can:
Construct and revise an explanation based on evidence for how carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen from sugar molecules may combine with other elements to form amino acids and/or other large carbon-based molecules. (HS-LS1-6)


Use a model to illustrate that cellular respiration is a chemical process whereby the bonds of food molecules and oxygen molecules are broken and the bonds in new compounds are formed resulting in a net transfer of energy. (HS-LS1-7)

Content Knowledge


Students will be able to:
1.  Explain how compounds are formed 
2.  Distinguish among ionic, covalent, and hydrogen bonds
3.  Cite evidence for how atoms from sugar molecules may form other large carbon-based molecules
4.   Show how cellular respiration is a chemical process in which bonds are broken and formed, resulting in a net transfer of energy.
5.   Compare the four main groups of organic molecules: carbohydrates, lipids, proteins, and nucleic  acids.
6.   Summarize the role of adenosine triphosphate (ATP) in cells.
7.   Construct and revise evidence-based explanations for how carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen form amino acids and large organic molecules.
