Life Skills Arcade Middle school Family and Consumer Sciences, grades 6 to 8
Teacher note

Reviews Lesson 1.9. Reviews Lesson 1.9 (the Nutrient Sort and the six-column chart) with the lifespan table as round 2. Use it as the two-minute nutrient review at the start of Lesson 1.10 if the exit-card needs-more pile is over a third of the class, and again before the Label Reading Quiz, which has nutrient matching items. Round 1 follows the key: the main pile scores full and an also pile from the key scores half, so milk in Minerals is not a miss; the four cards marked accept-as-main (spinach, peanut butter, almonds, sweet potato) score full in either pile. Grade 6 setting: draw round 1 from the 20 cards without the small 8 and drop the lifespan lines from round 2. Grade 8 setting: all 30 cards in the draw.

Nutrient Sort

A food card appears. Tap its bin: Carbohydrates, Proteins, Fats, Vitamins, Minerals, or Water. Then a job line or a body need appears, and you tap the nutrient that does it.
