Teacher Notes
Using a spreadsheet program, students will organize their food journals. They will be able to compose graphs from the information to show how much they eat of certain foods during the course of the day. Students may need to be guided determine which things go on which axis and organize their information. Once the students have assembled their spreadsheets and made their pie charts, they can present them to the class and compare charts with each other.
