[Mo-facs] Fats facts

[Thoenen, Merilee]

The American Heart Association has several resources available on their
website to help you teach the facts about saturated fats and trans fats.


 

The Face the Fats area of the site (
http://www.americanheart.org/presenter.jhtml?identifier=3046074 )
includes a link to Fats 101 (Take our crash course on fats. It's
everything you need to know, easy to read and all in one place) and My
Fats Translator (A cool calculator that translates our fat
recommendations into daily limits just for you).  

 

The students might enjoy The Bad Fats Brothers area (
http://www.badfatsbrothers.com/BFB.html ).  This section features
cartoon character brothers who represent trans fat and saturated fat.
They want you to eat foods high in trans fat and saturated fat so they
can break your heart.  The Fats Facts area and the Webisode are good but
the webisode does require high speed internet.

 

The Take the Fats Quiz may be a good pre-test and/or post-test
resource:
