Elementary Nutrition and Activity Journal by Betty Kern, MS, CSCS

Developed to encourage a healthier lifestyle among youth, this log allows preteens to make connections between the exercise they get, the food they eat, and how it all affects their health. Utilizing the government's new food pyramid, the guide reveals students' nutritional needs and helps them categorize food choices according to the food groups in the pyramid. They can then apply this information as they make healthier food choices daily and record their eating habits in the journal.
