Ideas on How to Use the Activity Stations in your Classroom
1. Semester-long stations: Provide an overview of each station at the start of the semester. Post stations on the classroom walls for students to complete at their own pace over the semester.
2. Student-directed projects: Provide an overview of each station allowing individual students (or groups of students) to choose a station for their self-directed project. Students can present their findings back to the class.
3. Complete 1 station per class: ~45 minutes per activity and discussion. Follow 3 simple steps: a. Introduce the key nutrition messages and outcomes of the station. b. Have students complete the station worksheet (individually or in groups). c. Go over worksheet answers (if applicable). The follow-up discussion questions can be used in class discussion, small group or individual work.
