FDA/NSTA Symposium:

Teaching Nutrition Science and the Food Label

During this half-day Symposium, experts and educators from FDA explained the basics of nutrition science, nutrition-related health trends in the U.S., the scientific basis for the percentage daily values (%DV) on the Nutrition Facts Label, and participants explored teaching resources FDA has developed. FDA scientists and master educators lead participants in activities—some of which are inquiry oriented and hands-on—that can be used in the classroom to enable students to experience several of the National Science Education Standards, including those for Science in Personal Health and Social Perspectives. Each participant received a notebook of teaching resources and a stipend of $60 from FDA.
