★ This resource is taken directly from my Full Semester/Year High School Health Curriculum, and my Middle/Junior High School Health Curriculum, which are both #1 Best-Selling Health Curriculum on TPT!


★ Here is what previous buyers are saying:

- "Actually one of the best resources I've ever downloaded from TPT. I can't believe it was free!! I don't even teach health. I'm using it for a class on science literacy and this was the perfect fit for my unit on food science and diets."

- "Kids bring in all kinds of things and ask is this healthy, but I believe that once I show them this presentation they will know how to check for themselves."

- "Wow! Such a complete unit and so important... Thanks for creating product that makes me a better teacher!"

- "I would give this lesson the highest rating. I found the subject matter important, relevant and the lesson highly informative. The lesson was easy to understand and I was able to put ideas to use right away; highly practical and useful!"


THIS FREE LESSON INCLUDES: ★

1. 23 PAGES OF STEP-BY-STEP TEACHER DIRECTIONS that suggest what to say and follow PowerPoint slides that walk you through each lesson as you teach your students!

2. An editable 57-slide PowerPoint that walks you through the lesson

3. An editable student worksheet where each student will pick a product or label and read it on their own

4. Editable and printable and online on Google Slides food labels to use if you don't have real containers!

5. Fun editable "Grocery Store Scavenger Worksheet"! (Also on Google Slides!)

6. 3 links to great videos on the new U.S.D.A. food label, grocery store labels, how to read food labels, and the reality of fast food advertising


Here is some of the content included:

How manufacturers may try to deceive consumers with false packaging, unrealistic serving sizes, and confusing information
