Week
2 -Carbohydrates
This
week classes will study about Carbohydrates on the Food Pyramid,
and as a class describe foods in that category that are favorites
or unique to their geographic location.
You can visit these
sites to find out information to review about the Food Pyramid,
and basic nutrition. Be sure to take notes as your research.
You will be asked to create and solve Nutrition
Mysteries later in the project. The more details you have,
the harder you can make your mystery. Have fun exploring!

Be sure you take
good notes, so you can use them for your Nutrition Mystery later
in the project.
Now that you have
researched about Carbohdrates, it's time to share what kinds
of foods from your area are carbohydrates. Be sure to describe
the foods, tell us how you cook or eat them, and include a picture
if you have one. You can post your message on our Discussion
Board.
To add a picture
to your description, follow the directions on the Uploading
pictures to the Discussion Board Help Page.
We are looking forward
to seeing your entries!
