		For Kids ^Votes:0 Garden Activity Ideas from "Nutrition in the Garden" #1 Root View Box Lay a half gallon milk container on its side or stand straight up and cut off the top. Cut a window out of one of the sides leaving 1/2 inch of carton around the edges. Place a piece of glass or plastic (you can use an overhead transparency sheet) in the box against the window. Secure the plastic with a waterproof seal (waterproof glue or strong tape). Add soil and plant your seeds close to the window. Then water your seeds in and see what happens. Keep your soil moist but be careful not to over-water since you do not have drainage holes. Tilting the box forward will help the roots to grow against the clear side and allow them to be more visible. #2 Seed Viewer Put a piece of rolled construction paper in a clear plastic Read More Go to Site

		Nutrition ^Votes:0 Nutrition Know How What you eat has a life long effect on your health and well-being. To look and feel your best, you have to eat adequate amounts of the proper foods. Many teenagers don't always choose the food that is best for them. They may not want to eat what the rest of the family is eating or they may eat poorly at school. The food at the school cafeteria is required by law in the United States to meet certain nutritional standards, but you may not be eating their food. Nutrition... Nutrition... Nutrition... Adults are always talking about good nutrition and eating the right foods. Isn't it enough to eat the things that we enjoy eating? Not necessarily, unless you like eating foods rich in vitamins, minerals and other essential nutrients. Sounds boring? It doesn't have to be. If you Read More Go to Site
