Health and Nutrition Lesson Plan 1

This Discover Dairy Health and Nutrition Lesson 1 encourages students to explore the different domains that contribute to a strong sense of wellbeing, with a focus on nutritious foods. By engaging in the learning activities detailed below, students will feel empowered to make positive and informed decisions in relation to their overall health and wellbeing, including what foods they can eat to support their body. As well as other important aspects of a balanced lifestyle, such as physical activity, lowering screen time, building relationships and exercising their brains. This lesson is designed to enthuse students to invest ongoing time and energy into improving their health and wellbeing by providing a platform for students to create new long-term routines and goals.

Within this lesson, students will be exploring what a balanced diet is; as they investigate the different food groups and how they serve the body, as well as learning about what a balanced diet should look like each day. Students will also consider the large variety of benefits that come from eating a balanced diet, and relate these closely to their own lives, and what they want their bodies to achieve each day. To conclude the lesson, students will delve into the different domains of wellbeing (as supported by the Australian Student Wellbeing Framework) and set goals that will assist them in not just attaining a balanced diet, but also a balanced lifestyle.
