Mission Nutrition
March 2, 2009
Mission Nutrition is an interactive website. This website helps teach about nutrition. I would use this game in a grade 2 health class – unit on nutrition.
In this game you have to do different tasks around the house, after completing the task, there is information that comes up that will teach students about health. For example the first task that comes up is, Open the fridge and find the drink that contains the most ADDED sugar. So the student has to click on the fridge to open it. There is a chose from orange juice to soda. When you click on either drink, it will inform you about the nutritional value and tell how much sugar is contained in it.
I think this game really teaches students facts about foods that they might not have known before. I would have students get into groups of 2 and work through this game together.
