PE19.8.3.11
Utilize one method of tracking fitness and nutrition.
Overview
This TED-Ed learning activity guides students through the explanation and use of calories.
We hear about calories all the time: How many calories are in this cookie? How many are burned by doing 100 jumping jacks, or long-distance running, or fidgeting? But what is a calorie, really? And how many of them do we actually need? Emma Bryce explains how a few different factors should go into determining the recommended amount for each person.
The activity includes a video, multiple choice and open-ended questions, additional resources to dig deeper, and a guided discussion.
This alignment results from the Health/PE COS Resource Alignment Summit.
