Sports Nutrition

Currently Sports Nutrition students are researching general nurtrition information.  Students must know the effects of the 6 nutritients on our body.  The students will have to keep track of their diet for 5 days and then analyze their diet in comparison with the requirements of the food guide pyramid specifically designed for each individaul member of the class.  Once the general information is covered more in-depth study will take place on each one of the nutrients.  Labs will require students to demonstrate meals high in each nutrient with the exception of fats, which will be a low-fat lab. 

Parent Child Development

The students in parent child development are starting to experience as realistic as they can the role of parenthood.  Thorugh the help of the Lorain County Families First Council, students are assignment a baby simulator.  Students are required to feed, change, hold and care for these baby simulators for a period of 5 days.  During this time students are asked to write down their feelings about the care of the infant.  This project is a major part of their third nine weeks grade and should be treated as realistically as possible. 

Life Choices

Life Choice students are studying nutrition and wellness during this third nine weeks.  Each week a new foods topic is presented to the students.  After studying the topic, students will plan and carry out a lab demonstating their knowledge of the research foods topic.  With each foods topic, the nutrition of the topic will be discussed and it's importance to a person's diet.
