Book excerpt: Abstract: A curriculum for preschool nutrition education is designed around 7 basic nutrition concept areas: food and nutrients, nutrient needs, nutrition and health, nutrition and the life cycle, food handling, food selection, and food as a resource. The primary emphasis is on learning through experiences requiring children to use their senses. There are 7 unit plans (collections of activities which can be used to teach a concept based on a chosen subject) and corresponding daily lesson plans which use some of the suggested activities from the unit plan to structure a day's activities. Each lesson plan lists goals, behavioral objectives, materials needed and learning activities. Also included are annotated bibliographies of preschool children's books, preschool curriculum materials, audiovisuals and other teaching materials. (js).
