Teamwork
Teamwork means combining individual efforts to reach a shared goal.
Working together as a team in the kitchen will make the job smoother, faster, and fun. Students may want to remain in teams with their friends in the class; but in the workforce, we don’t get to choose who we work with. Students need to learn to get along with other peers not in their circle of friends. This will allow lower level students to model and work with higher functioning students and vice versa.

Teamwork should include the following skills:

• Organization
  Using a work or a lab plan will facilitate team members to be organized as they work on their assigned tasks. Encourage students to follow the instructions to complete their duties.
  .
• Cooperation
  Team members should work together to complete their lab. Assisting others who fall behind promotes cooperation. Encourage students to help each other.

• Communication
  Talking to each other in a team allows for a learning experience and discussion. Encourage students to communicate with their team members to complete assigned tasks.

• Responsibility
  Learning the assigned job and doing the fair share of work carefully, efficiently, and in a timely manner will produce successful results.

Students should complete their duties efficiently and carefully following all safety rules. Encourage students to assist their team members after they have completed their tasks.

Once you establish your groups, use the graphic organizer Lab Duty Assignments so that students may write in your own description for each title. Lab Duty Assignments 4 blank and Lab Duty Assignments 5 blank are included to adapt them to your particular group arrangements.

Time Management
Timing is crucial in lab settings, so planning is important so students can complete the lab, eat, and clean before leaving to their next class.

Make sure to choose recipes that can be completed in the required amount of time and read the recipe with the students before the lab so they can become aware of:

• ingredients needed
• equipment to use
• oven temperature
• cooking or baking time
• food preparation techniques

Various lab plan worksheets include a timetable with each task broken down in segments. Look for one that works best for your students in the amount of class time available. A lab plan sheet or a work plan is a list of all tasks needed in order to prepare a meal. It should list a timetable and tasks for each member.

Problem Solving
Problems are going to occur in any situation. Students should learn what they can or will do if a problem occurs.

Create different scenarios as to what the team will do if:

• a team member is absent from lab
• two team members are absent from lab
• a team member adds too much of one ingredient
• a team member forgets to add an ingredient to the recipe or grocery list
• a team member forgets to bring an item (ingredient or dish)
• a team member does not feel well the day of lab
• a team member burns, overcooks, or undercooks the recipe

Brainstorm with your students to solve these problems.

Leadership is the ability to guide or direct people. Students can practice leadership skills as the chef of a team in the foods lab.

Teaching Strategies/Lesson Ideas

• Many students in your class have experience in the kitchen and many have never cooked or have been allowed to cook at home. Choose recipes that are easy to follow, have few ingredients, and will teach students proper techniques to produce a flavorful product.
• Begin with simple, easy recipes to start the labs so that students will understand your expectations. Increase in difficulty for each lab.
• Be sure to demonstrate the recipe prior to the lab so the students are prepared and know how their product should look and taste.
• In a job setting, employees do not choose who they work with. Allow students to choose their own lab partners by drawing numbers for their groups. If they draw a number one, the student is in group one, and so forth. Number according to the number of groups that your kitchen lab can accommodate. This way they “select” their own group.
• It is important to plan simple, nutritious, and healthy labs that follow the Choose My Plate guidelines. Refer to the Resources section for this course for recipes from the USDA’s SNAP-ED Connection. These recipes include a nutritional analysis and a cost analysis and are easy to make with limited ingredients. Cookbooks include: Whole Grain Recipes, Healthy Recipes, Fruits and Vegetables Recipes, Fast and Easy Recipes, and Beverage Recipes.

Module Content

General Nutrition Principles is the second unit of study in the Lifetime Nutrition and Wellness course. This section contains three TEA units of study that include:

• A. Nutrients
• B. Effects of Nutrition
• C. Dietary Guidelines

—

Nutrients
Depending on your class schedule, have your students study each food group individually, the nutrients that the food group best reflects, and suggested lab ideas each week.

This section will be divided into three areas:
I. Food Groups
II. Nutrients
III. Suggested labs

—

To introduce the ChooseMyPlate Food Groups, the Dietary Guidelines for Americans, and the nutrients, refer to lesson Nutrition Principles for a Lifetime of Wellness.
http://cte.sfasu.edu/lesson-plans/nutrition-principles-for-a-lifetime-of-wellness/

I. Food Groups

• ChooseMyPlate.gov
  In June, 2011, the United States Department of Agriculture introduced the new food guide – MyPlate, based on the 2010 Dietary Guidelines for Americans.
  The different plate shape is to help grab consumers’ attention with a new visual cue that is a familiar mealtime symbol.
  http://www.choosemyplate.gov/food-groups/

II. Nutrients
Nutrients in food keep our bodies healthy. They include:

• Water – needed to sustain life; the body is made up of 55 to 75 percent water.
• Vitamins – important to health; work with enzymes to keep cells healthy and active.
  • Water-soluble vitamins – dissolve in water and pass easily into the bloodstream during digestion.
  • Fat-soluble vitamins – are absorbed and transported by fat.
• Carbohydrates – the body’s main source of energy and are found mostly in plant foods such as fruits, vegetables, grain products, dry beans, nuts, and seeds.
• Proteins – help your body grow and repair itself and is found in animal products including meat, poultry, fish, eggs, and dairy products as well as plant foods such as dry beans and peas, nuts, vegetables, and grain products.
• Minerals – are part of the body in bones in teeth.
• Oils – are greasy substances that are either solid or liquid and will not dissolve in water.

Introduce this section using the graphic organizer The Nutrients in Food.
Students may take notes from each of these nutrients to keep in the notebook/cookbook.

Unhealthy food choices or a lack of food can lead to malnutrition which is poor nourishment resulting from a lack of nutrients. This can cause serious health problems.

III. Labs
Choose healthy, nutritious recipes that fit your time schedule and school budget. Some available choices are:

• Food Groups Recipes – Fifteen recipes (3 from each food group) show ways to use foods from each food group. They are complete with basic nutritional analyses and food group amounts.

  http://www.fsis.usda.gov/Fact_Sheets/Foodborne_Illness_What_Consumers_Need_to_Know/index.asp#1

Hygiene
Bacteria on your body can contaminate work surfaces, utensils, and food. By practicing personal hygiene; thoroughly washing your body, face, and hands, you help to avoid transferring harmful bacteria when handling food.
Your hands come in frequent contact with food, so keeping them clean is the single most effective way to prevent the transfer of bacteria.

Be sure your students observe the following personal hygiene before they enter the lab area:

• wear clean clothes
• wear a clean apron
• roll up long sleeves
• remove all jewelry
• tie long hair back
• wash hands

Make a habit of the 20 second scrub. Using soap and warm water, scrub your hands for 20 seconds. Use a brush to clean underneath your fingernails. Keep your nails trimmed.

Steps to Hand Washing

1. Wet hands and arms
2. Apply soap
3. Scrub hands and arms vigorously
4. Rinse hands and arms thoroughly
5. Dry hands and arms

Recipes and Measurements

A recipe is a set of directions for making a food or beverage. A well-written recipe should have the following:

• Recipe name
• List of ingredients
• Yield
• Cooking method, temperature, and time
• Equipment needed
• Step-by-step directions
• Nutrition analysis

As you know, anyone can write a recipe and post it on the internet and write cookbooks. But are they easy to follow? Use the graphic organizer Recipe Breakdown with your students and have them locate any recipe from cookbooks, magazines, or the internet to complete the information.

Recipes usually turn out best when you use each ingredient in exactly the right amount. Allow students to work with measuring dry and wet ingredients using the correct measuring cups and small amount ingredients using measuring spoons. You may use the handouts Measurement Standards, Measurement Standards (Key), Standards of Measurement and Substitutions for Healthier Cooking and Baking so that students become familiar with increasing and decreasing ingredient amounts and making healthier meals.

USDA’s SNAP Connection has a collection of easy, healthy recipes that include the nutritional analysis and cost analysis. We have compiled these suggested recipes in cookbooks for you to choose from. Be sure and check them out.

USDA SNAP-Ed Cookbooks:

• Beverage
• Fast and Easy
• Fruits and Vegetables

Handout Cooking Terms may be used and more terms added if needed. Notice that the word fry is not on the cooking terms list as this is not a nutritious preparation method. It can be used in Culinary Arts.

Planning and preparation are a key to successful labs. Make sure to plan ahead by using a

• grocery lists
• lab plan sheets
• well-written recipes

Don’t forget to evaluate your lab. Find out from your students what worked and what didn’t work to improve the success of your labs.

Purchasing and Storage Strategies

Shopping for food is a skill just like preparing a meal. There are many choices such as:

• supermarkets
• warehouse stores
• warehouse clubs
• health food supermarkets
• specialty stores
• food cooperatives
• convenience stores
• farmer’s markets
• online food retailers

Get to know your store and the layout and plan your trip to save time. Get the most for your food budget. There are many ways to save money on the foods that you eat. The three main steps are planning before you shop, purchasing the items at the best price, and preparing meals that stretch your food dollars.

http://www.choosemyplate.gov/foodgroups/downloads/TenTips/DGTipsheet16EatingBetterOnABudget.pdf

Food-Storage Guidelines

Proper storage prevents spoilage and preserves food’s nutrients, flavor, texture, and appearance. Follow these guidelines to protect quality in the stored food:

• Follow package directions for storing food.
• Follow the FIFO rule – First in, First out. Store newly purchased food behind older food.
• Check sell by and use by dates. If no date appears, write the purchase date on them.
• Clean storage areas regularly.
• Buy only what you need.

Table Service, Presentation, and Etiquette

Basic Table Service
A table should be set before people sit down to eat. Even a simple table setting can be special.
Use the graphic organizer Basic Table Setting to teach the essential pieces of a cover.

There are four types of table service:

• Family Service – serving meals in which food is placed in serving dishes and passed around the table.
• Plate Service – serving meals in which food is portioned out on individual plates in the kitchen and brought to the table.
• Modified English Service – a more formal way of serving a meal for a small group as foods for the main course are brought to the table in serving dishes and are placed in front of the host, along with a stack of dinner plates. The host then serves the main course and vegetables on each dinner plate and passes the plate to the right to the person at the end of the table.
• Buffet – a method of serving food in which people help themselves to food set out on a table.

Use the graphic organizer Meal Service to discuss the differences with your students.

Etiquette
The courtesy you show to others by using good manners when eating. It is an important part of serving and enjoying food.
Knowing table etiquette can also be an asset in the working world as some job interviews and business meetings take place during a meal. View the How To videos as they include steps and tips and needed supplies.

Process of Digestion and Metabolism
Refer to the lesson on our website Maintaining a Healthy Digestive System for more information.
http://cte.sfasu.edu/lesson-plans/maintaining-a-healthy-digestive-system/

The Digestive System

• Digestion begins in the mouth, when you chew and swallow, and is completed in the small
  intestine.
• The esophagus connects the throat above with the stomach below.
• The stomach stores the swallowed food and liquid, mixes the food, liquid, and digestive
  juices, and empties the contents slowly into the small intestine.
• The liver turns nutrients into forms the body can use.
• Bile is a substance that helps your body digest and absorb fats. It is produced in the liver and
  stored in the gall bladder until needed.
• The pancreas produces pancreatic juice that contains enzymes that help break down
  carbohydrates, proteins, and fat.
• The small intestine produces intestinal juice to further break down food and absorption
  takes place.
• The large intestine, also called the colon, removes water, potassium and sodium from the
  waste. The remainder is stored as a semi-solid in the lower part of the intestine until it is
  eliminated.

Why is Digestion Important?

It’s a Process

• Food and drink is broken down
• Body uses the food to build and nourish cells
• Provides energy
• Digestion begins

When you eat foods – such as bread, meat, and vegetables – they are not in a form that the
body can use as nourishment.
Food and drink must be changed into smaller molecules of nutrients before they can be
absorbed into the blood and carried to cells throughout the body.

Body Mass Index
Body Mass Index (BMI) is a number calculated from a person’s weight and height. BMI provides a reliable indicator of body fatness for most people and is used to screen for weight categories that may lead to health problems.
Use the information on this website to show students how to calculate their BMI.
http://www.cdc.gov/healthyweight/assessing/bmi/index.html

Physical Activity and Fitness
According to ChooseMyPlate.gov., being physically active can improve your health — today, tomorrow, and in the future. However, most people do not do enough physical activity. People of all types, shapes, sizes, and abilities can benefit from being physically active. The more you do, the greater the health benefits and the better you’ll feel.

Balance of Caloric Intake and Use
The United States Department of Agriculture (USDA), Food and Nutrition Service (FNS), and the Center for Nutrition Policy and Promotion (CNPP) have created
SuperTracker:

My foods. My fitness. My health.

• Get your personalized nutrition and physical activity plan.
• Track your foods and physical activities to see how they stack up.
• Get tips and support to help you make healthier choices and plan ahead.
  https://www.choosemyplate.gov/SuperTracker/Documents/SuperTrackerUserGuide.pdf

Students will be able to log foods they have eaten with physical activity.

The Daily Food Plan shows your food group targets – what and how much to eat within your calorie allowance. Your food plan is personalized, based on your age, gender, height, weight, and physical activity level.

Teaching Strategies/Lesson Ideas

• By allowing students to use take pictures and keep track of the food they eat with their cell phones, you are incorporating technology into your lesson. They will be able to analyze each other’s meals and discuss the nutrients needed lacking, and digestion (dietary fiber).
• Assign homework by asking students to take a picture of all they foods they eat for three days including a weekend. Most students have a camera on their cell phones to be able to do this. They can download the pictures and examine their choices. For students that do not have access to a camera, they can list all of their meals.
• Assign students to collect pictures from magazines or clip art depicting at least three of their favorite physical activities. Studies show that if young people like certain physical activities like running, basketball, baseball, dancing, and so forth, they will continue that activity into adulthood. Offer extra credit if student’s take their own pictures exercising.
• Assign students to research their local community for physical activity programs in their area. Many cities provide park and recreation facilities to keep the youth active.

Nutrition Content and Portion Sizes
Anyone eating on the run or at restaurants has probably noticed that food portions have gotten larger. Some portions are called “super size,” while others have simply grown in size and provide enough food for at least two people. With this growth have come increases in waistlines and body weight.

To see if you know how today’s portions compare to the portions available 20 years ago, quiz yourself on Portion Distortion I (2003) and Portion Distortion II (2004). You will also learn about the amount of physical activity required to burn off the extra calories provided by today’s portions.
