Explain to the students that, in small groups, they will be creating a personal action plan for eating healthy.

Access information about health science, research, data, monitoring and surveillance, and the determinants of health. Funding, partnerships, investments, statistics, social and economic factors, determinants of health.

For this project, students were placed into teams of health care researchers. Each team was assigned a certain pathogen (I used fungi, bacteria, and viruses since three teams worked well for the class size that I had) and told to develop a presentation to convince a group of investors to invest in the fight against their pathogen.
Presentations were expected to be professional (not a Bristol board poster with pictures glued on it) and timed (students were cut off after their time limit – finished or not). Students were assessed based on content, quality, and professionalism. An independent panel was brought in to judge the student presentations and decide how much of their money to invest.

What are micronutrients and macronutrients? Today, we're going to talk about the essential nutrients that your body needs to function properly: micronutrients and macronutrients. Have you ever wondered what they are, why they're called that, and why they're important? Well, you're in the right place!

Micronutrients and macronutrients are both essential for good health, but they serve different purposes in the body. Micronutrients, such as vitamins and minerals, are needed in smaller quantities than macronutrients, which include carbohydrates, proteins, and fats. They're called "micro" and "macro" because of the difference in the amount that you need.

In this video, we'll explain what micronutrients and macronutrients are, and why they're called that. We'll also talk about the difference between micronutrients and macronutrients, and why they're both important for your body. And, we'll give you some tips on how to make sure you're getting enough of both in your diet.
