Zygote Body is a web page with an interactive 3D model of human anatomy. You can choose the layers to be displayed so it is a recommended resource to study the human body in 3º ESO. The way it works resembles that of Google Earth but applied to a human model

Se basa esta vez en la lectura de un libro: Blood, bones and body bits (Arnold, Nick. Horrible Science.).podéis encontrar en dos partes en los enlaces de aquí debajo. A la vez que lo leeis debéis ir contestando a las preguntas test que se proponen.

Vuestro trabajo consistirá en entregar esas preguntas con su correcta argumentación en inglés más un pequeño resumen del libro, de unas dos carrillas que incluya la información básica del libro así como tu opinión sobre él.

NUTRITION PROJECT.

Nutrition is a very important issue in our healthy lifestyle. Thanks to the Mediterranean diet our life expectancy is the highest of Europe. Unfortunately, too many Spanish children and teens are changing these habits and they do not receive the suitable nutrients needed to be healthy. After completing this web quest and learning about the nutrients, food pyramid, and dietary guidelines, you will do a report in order to improve the feeding habits of many Spanish teenagers.

PROCESS:

Follow the process and gather information to answer questions. Once you have gathered the information, you will write a report that has two articles, a sample menu for an average 13-15 years old and a video that explains your presentation.

ACTIVITY A

ANALYSIS OF A DIET

Objective

You are going to analyse the diets of two teenagers and check if they are balanced according their sex and age.

Experience

Pedro and María are two siblings who are 14 and 15 years old. According their height, age and sex, Pedro requires about 12000KJ/day and María about 9000KJ/day. Both have eaten the same diet.

Breakfast	Snack	Lunch	Snack	Dinner

200g of milk 15 g of sugar 15g of batter 50g of bread	100g of bread 40 g of ham 500ml of water	100g of pasta 20g of oil 125g of pork meal 100g of tomato 100g of lettuce 150g of apple 50g of bread 50g of cheese 500ml of water	100g of bread 50g of chocolate 250ml of water	100g of green bean 100g of potato 20g of oil One egg 50g of bread One yogurt 10g of sugar 150g of orange

Both María and Pedro think their diet is a balanced one. Are they right?

Data collection: Fill the table about food composition using the food composition table. Remember data refer to 100g of food.

Conclusion Analyse if this diet is right according to the age and sex of these siblings. What would you change for it to be a balanced diet?
