Identify the necessary food groups and importance of each. They are to color each section of the pyramid, then cut it out and arrange them correctly to form a pyramid.
Students can then glue each section to a piece of construction paper to form the food pyramid.
Now the class should discuss the pyramid. After students have an understanding of why the pyramid is put together the way it is they can work in groups to complete the pyramid found at the web address. Students will have to answer questions correctly in order to build the pyramid. We would like to thank BellSouth for its support.
