They will learn and apply key terminology while using proportional reasoning to form ratios and calculate the total amounts of nutrients in an entire container based on serving size. Finally, students will reflect on why the ability to interpret nutrition facts labels is essential—both for professionals in the healthcare industry and for the general public—in making informed decisions that support overall health and wellness.
