This week's topic is:
NUTRITION
|
With the holiday season upon us, good nutrition education can keep us eating right!
|
Some sites to help in this effort:
- Nutrition Explorations
Through its network of state and regional dairy councils, NDC is recognized throughout the country as a leader in educating school children. Education materials provided by the Dairy Council include brochures, booklets, curriculum aids, posters and other items designed to teach children about food, nutrition, diet and health.

- Food Guide Pyramid
The Food Guide Pyramid was designed as an easy way to show the groups of foods
that make up a good diet. It also tells you that you need to eat a variety of foods from all five groups and how much of the foods from the different groups you should eat to stay healthy.
http://kidshealth.org/kid/stay_healthy/food/pyramid.html
- Kidnetic.com
Kidnetic.com is a healthy eating and active living Web site designed for kids
aged 9 - 12 and their families to inspire them to move toward healthier lifestyles. Kidnetic.com is
also a resource for health professionals and educators to use when working with
patients and students.

Ask Judi!
This week features an excellent offering from The New York Public Library:
This exhibition tells the story of the conception and diffusion of Isaac Newton’s ideas, and the tensions and often public clashes they engendered. Notwithstanding these burgeoning controversies, or perhaps because of them, for friends and foes alike Newton became an icon to be emulated or rejected, revered or excoriated – but always there to contend with. Hence, the era of Enlightenment and Revolution may be viewed as the Newtonian Moment.
Enjoy!
