Lesson Planning in HPE - 3 Part Lesson Plan

Unit/Conceptual Focus: Human Performance


 
Lesson #:    5             Focus: Nutrition: Micronutrients vs. Macronutrients

Curriculum Expectations: (List overall and specific expectations)


B2 Demonstrate an understanding of and assess factors that affect performance during human movement.

B2.3 Describe the role of nutrition in supporting physical activity (e.g., healthy nutrition maintains the nutrient
balance needed to meet daily activity requirements; macronutrients provide energy and build muscle;
micronutrients and hydration help the body function effectively), and assess the nutritional needs of
individuals or specific groups within the population in relation to their activity levels
 
 

Learning Goals: (In student-friendly language)


We are learning to: 
 Differentiate between Micronutrients & Macronutrients
 Use the Canada’s Food Guide to make health focused nutritional decisions
 Educate ourselves on the usefulness of food labeling  
 

Guiding Questions: (List 2-3 questions that frame student’s learning)


1. What is the difference between Micronutrients & Macronutrients?
2. How can we use food labels to guide our nutritional decisions?
3. How can we use Canada’s food guide to make healthy food choices?
 
 

Time: 5 Before: Minds On (Establish a positive learning environment, connecting to Materials


mins prior learning or experiences, setting the context for learning – can be warm  
up/fitness blast specific to game/sport for activity based class) 

Micro vs. Macro: Learning from the WORLDWIDE WEB


https://youtu.be/5Wr1N1nazZ4
 Pose a few general questions post- video to kick start thinking prior to YouTube
lecture
Ex. “ What are some examples of macronutrients?”
 
Time: During: Action! (Introducing new learning or extending/reinforcing prior learning, Materials
50 mins providing opportunities for practice and application for learning)  
 
1. Micronutrients vs. Macronutrients in Depth
 Lecture component
 Explain in depth the importance of both micro and macronutrients within PPT
our diet, and the importance of portion size (Canada’s Food Guide)

2. Canada’s Food Guide: What did you learn?


 Students will look through the Canada’s Food Guide researching healthy
food choices, and identifying micro and macronutrients on the diagram
provided  Internet

3. Creating a Nutritional Food label for a Smoothie 


 Students will get in small groups and choose preassigned ingredients to
make a healthy blended smoothie  Workbook
 Completing the assigned pages in their Kinesiology Workbook (pg. 224-
225)

Time: 5 After: Consolidation & Connection (Helping students demonstrate what they have Materials
mins learned, providing opportunities for consolidation and reflection)  
 
 
 Exit Task: Identify Macro and Micronutrients of Food Items in our Favourite
Foods Handout 
 Students will complete a worksheet analyzing the macronutrients and
micronutrients of their favourite food(s)

 
 

Assessment Opportunities
Assessment as Learning: Exit Task - Identify Macro and Micronutrients of Food Items
Assessment as Learning: Action - Creating a Nutritional Food Label for a Smoothie

Next Steps 
 Ensure students are able to use the Canadian food guide to make healthy food choices 
 Getting students to understand the concept behind supplementation (e.g, vitamins, minerals,
protein, etc)
