Nutrition Project: Part 3 – Go Green Project

Objective

Students will enter 3-days of their personal eating pattern on an Excel template. The template is provided for you on the FHZ Physical Education web page. Food values will be identified for Protein, Carbohydrates and Fats. The following links will guide you through the assignment.

You will need Microsoft Word and Excel to do this project. If you do not have these programs you can download Open Office for free onto your HOME computer. This is a great program as it includes PowerPoint and the ability to also read Microsoft Works along with a number of other software programs.

You may also prefer to download Google Chrome as a browser instead of Internet Explorer (IE). It will perform faster and some of the web page features may not work with IE. You can still keep your IE but use Google Chrome for this project.

Begin by locating our OHMMHS web site. Take a few minutes and look around. Then find PE and open the page. You will need to select a link on the PE web page to open out PE Department web site. The Physical Education web site is: Physical Education Department OHMMHS . Select the link and take a minute and review the department information. Locate the Healthy Fitness Zone tab. HFZ

You will then be able to down load the necessary information. Excel 3-Day Eating Log and various Grocery / Shopping lists, etc. right from the web page.
