Nutrition Activities in the Classroom Classroom activities that focus on proper nutrition are a great way to involve children in active learning. Through food preparation, experiments, and using the five senses, nutrition education can go far beyond the basic food pyramid. There are, however, essential safety considerations for such activities.
Equipment Consider what equipment is available for use in the classroom.
Activities that children can do individually or in groups of two help hold their interest. If electrical appliances are to be used, check the equipment carefully before each use. Equipment should be in good working condition. Handles, footings, and tops should be secure. Cords should be securely plugged into approved electrical outlets and positioned well away from water sources.
