Unit Plan Health Grade 5 UNIT: Health P4B s TIME FRAME: 1-2 lesson(s) a week [7 lessons] TEACHER: Melissa Kujundzic Unit Summary and Rationale: The Power4Bones program has been designed to integrate a number of Alberta Curriculum expectations, including Health and Life Skills, Physical Education, English Language Arts, and Information and Communication T echnologies (ICT) and Fine Arts and to provide an authentic, engaging learning experience for students. Power4Bones focuses on the importance of eating bone- building foods and doing bone-building activities during adolescence. The P4B program responds to research that shows Alberta kids aren’t eating well enough or getting enough physical activity to keep their bones strong. As a result, they are not capitalizing on a crucial bone-building period of life. Healthy eating and physical activity tend to decrease as kids progress through the elementary school years, so it’s important to reach them in Grade 5 to prevent this decline. The wide variety of program components, including online web challenges and comic episodes, help students improve their knowledge of the link between bone health, nutrition and physical activity.

When is the best time to build bones? What activities are good for bone building? What kinds of Foods are bone building foods? What is a PSA? How can we make healthy lifestyle choices? What food choices can you make to include bone-building nutrients? Why are bone-building nutrients an important part of healthy eating? How are systems in our bodies affected by what we eat? Big Ideas: Learn that their bones are alive and need foods rich in calcium, vitamin D and other bone- building nutrients to be strong. Learn which foods are good for their bones. Learn that weight-bearing activities are best for building bones. Learn examples of weight- bearing activities. Learn that they need to take care of their bones NOW! Learn that the best time to build strong bones is during the early teen years. Learn that there are health consequences for not having good bone-building habits NOW Learn that having Milk and Alternatives four times a day is the easiest way to build strong bones. Identify Milk and Alternatives they can eat and drink to get the bone-building nutrients they need. Identify the importance of living a bone-healthy lifestyle. Identify how they and their peers can lead a bone- healthy lifestyle. Apply what they have learned about bone-building foods and activities to the development of their PSAs. Apply what they have learned about bone-building foods and activities to the completion of their PSAs. Review and revise their PSAs. Review and vote on their classmates’ PSAs. Learning Tasks: Reading T asks Comics Paired reading Group reading Readers Theater Reading Writing T asks PSA Graphic organizers Web challenges T op ten bone builders Skills: Discussion T asks Jigsaw Think pair share Language/Vocabulary T asks Vocabulary knowledge game Key Terms / Vocabulary: Bok choy: A leafy green vegetable, a little like lettuce, often used in Chinese cooking. It may also be spelled “bok choi.” Bone density: The thickness of a bone, or the amount of bone tissue in a given amount of bone. Dense bones are solid, strong bones. Bone mass: The weight and thickness of our bones. When our bones are heavy and thick we have strong skeletons. Bone renewal: Our bones are always changing to help keep them strong and healthy. Bone renewal is when old bone cells are removed and new bone cells are made to replace them. Old bone cells are removed by special bone cells called osteoclasts, and new bone cells are made by osteoblasts. Bone-building: When new bone cells are made in your body and added to your skeleton, your bones are made thicker and stronger. Bone-healthy foods: Foods that have key nutrients such as calcium and/or vitamin D that help the body build strong bones. Milk, chocolate milk, cheese, yogurt, soy beverage, tofu and canned salmon with bones are good examples. Brittle bones: Bones that are not thick or strong. Brittle bones break easily. Calcium: A very important bone-building nutrient. Calcium is a mineral that helps to make our bones and keep them strong. Most of the calcium in our bodies is stored in our bones and teeth. We get calcium when we have foods such as milk, yogurt, cheese, soy beverage, canned salmon with bones and tofu fortified with calcium. Calcium supplement: A pill for people who are not getting enough calcium from food. If you eat enough bone-healthy foods every day, your bones will get all the calcium they need to be strong, and you will not need to take a calcium supplement. Besides, bones need more than just calcium. With food, you can get the other bone-building nutrients you need, such as vitamin D. Carbohydrates: A type of nutrient that our bodies and brains use for energy. When we are active we need a lot of carbohydrates. We get carbohydrates from foods like fruit, vegetables, cereal, pasta, rice, bread, milk, yogurt and beans. Cartilage: Tough, rubbery tissue in our bodies. It helps to support and cushion our skeletons. When we are babies, our skeletons are made mostly of hard cartilage. As we grow, most of it is replaced with bone. You can feel cartilage by touching your nose and ears. Cells: Cells are like tiny building blocks. They are alive. Our bodies (including our bones), and all living things, are made up of billions of tiny cells. We need a powerful microscope to see cells. Cranium: Another word for skull, the bone that protects your brain. E Eating Well with Canada’s Food Guide: Also known as Canada’s Food Guide. This guide shows Canadians the type and amount of food to eat to get the nutrients and energy we need to be healthy. How much we need to eat depends on how old we are and whether we are female or male. Fat-soluble vitamins: A group of vitamins that dissolve in fat and are stored in the body. Since they need fat to do their jobs, we need to eat some foods with fat to be healthy. Vitamins A, D, E and K are fat-soluble. Vitamin D is a key bone-building nutrient. Femur: The bone in your thigh. It is the longest bone in your body. Fortified: A food that has had nutrients added, such as vitamins or minerals. For example, in Canada, cow’smilk is always fortified with vitamin D to help us build strong bones. Fortified soy beverage: A drink made from soybeans, with calcium and vitamin D added. Fracture: To crack, split or break something, such as a bone. Bones that do not get enough bone-building materials, such as calcium and vitamin D, may fracture more easily. Geriatric: A medical word used to describe things related to people who are old or elderly. Joints: The places where bones are connected to each other. For example, your elbows, wrists, knees, ankles and hips are all joints. Kefir: A drink made of fermented milk. It is similar to a yogurt drink, but it has bubbles. It may be flavoured or unflavoured. Kefir is common in Eastern Europe. Lactose: A natural sugar found in milk. Lactose intolerance: A term used to describe the symptoms someone may feel because of a decreased ability to digest the natural sugar (lactose) in milk. It is not an allergy. Magnesium: A bone-building nutrient. Magnesium is a mineral we get when we eat foods such as whole grains, green leafy vegetables, nuts, meat, milk, yogurt, kefir and some cheeses. Media: A form of communication that includes audio, visual, audio-visual, print and electronic materials. Examples are television, movies, newspapers, radio, magazines, billboards and the Internet. Minerals: A group of nutrients that our bodies need only tiny amounts of to grow and be healthy. When we eat the type and amount of food described in Eating Well with Canada’s Food Guide, we get all the minerals we need. Muscles: A type of body tissue that we can move. We can tighten, relax, and stretch our muscles. When muscles move they cause parts of the body to move. Nutrients: Substances in food that help our bodies be healthy. The nutrient groups are vitamins, minerals, protein, fat and carbohydrates. We need more than 50 different nutrients every day to be healthy. When we eat the type and amount of food described in Eating Well with Canada’s Food Guide, we get all the nutrients we need. Osteoblasts: Special cells in your body that make bones. Osteoclasts: Special cells in your body that soak up and remove old bone. Osteoporosis: A disease that causes bones to become brittle and weak so they can break easily.
