Maintaining a Healthy Body
Overview
The study of the human body at Gr 5 focuses on the maintenance of good health. Students learn about the role that nutrients play, and how to plan balanced and nutritious meals using Canada's Food Guide To Healthy Eating. Students gain experience in interpreting nutritional information on food labels and in evaluating images presented by the media. A study of the major body systems and their role in the healthy functioning of the human body helps students to appreciate the nature and function of each, and the interrelationships that exist between systems. Students explore how lifestyle choices and environmental factors can affect personal health.
