Lesson Plan Overview

For my lesson plan I thought that it would be really interesting to see the effects of exercise on a person's diet. The students will use excell to measure the amount of calories they consume each day compared to the calories the use in exercise. This project will be a two week program, the first week consisting of keeping a food journal and not exercising. The second week the students will continue to keep the food journal, except they will add an exercise log. Then the students can use graphs to show their calorie intake/expenditure. They will calculate their calories using a calorie counter calculator found on the internet. For this project the students will be using the internet and excell to show the benefits of exercise which is a part of the Utah Standard curriculum under nutrition and healthy lifestyle for the 10th grade. I will participate in this project myself to show an example to the class.
