How do different foods affect how you feel and function? What's the story behind all these food groups, labels, and serving sizes? Work your way through the process of digestion and identify the nutrients various foods contain. Create healthy meals based on the new "ChooseMyPlate" guidelines and dig into the mystery of calorie content. Programs with older students investigate the information on nutrition labels, and some of the diet-related health issues humans may face. THE POWER OF A TE AM with Hockey Hall of Fame There are many characteristics necessary in the making of a successful team, from sharing a common goal to relying on the differences of others. Success is not solely measured by collecting more goals than an opponent. In fact, the game within a game allows for personal success, whether that be by improving one's skills, accepting wins and losses gracefully, or creating lasting friendships. Using photos, videos and artifacts from the Hockey Hall of Fame's vast and acclaimed archives, as well as drawing from the sport's robust and colourful history, the approach will be interactive, entertaining and empowering, using hockey as the example to give students the necessary tools to parallel the team concept and its journey through victory and adversity with that of everyday life.
