Sorting by NYSLS HPEH & Grade Level 3

Title	Synopsis
	Dental Health	Students will build upon their knowledge of dental Health. This experience was done within a unit on dental health during dental health week. Students will see what causes tooth decay can cause and how certain foods affect their teeth. The importance of brushing and proper oral hygiene will be reiterated.
	Food Pyramid	The lesson was developed for the learning standards because of the need to integrate as many curricula areas as possible for both academic and motivational rigor. I learned a great deal in preparing this unit.
	100 Years and Counting	This unit is primarily based on the book ...If You Lived: 100 Years Ago, by Ann McGovern. The book is a wonderful resource and full of information that is written in children's language. It covers all of the information that will be studied such as schooling, clothing, jobs, transportation and conveniences (or inventions) from the time period extending from the late 1800's to the early 1900's. The book explains what it was like primarily in New York City, which fits in nicely with the fourth grade curriculum, but also can tie in nicely with the third grade curriculum as it covers many different communities from around the world.
	Making Healthy Nutritional Choices	Why is a study of nutrition essential to a healthy life? How do nutrients help the body? How will the Internet be helpful in this search?
