The Five Food Groups Web Quest By Claire M

Introduction Oh no! Someone snuck into the cafeteria last night and made a huge mess. Usually all of the food is sorted into the five food groups but now everything is all over the place. The lunch ladies have asked our class to help. Before we can help, we need to learn all about the five food groups so we know how to sort the food into the right places.

Task In order to help the lunch ladies, you must all complete this web quest. For this web quest, you will be split up into groups. With your group, you will be asked to complete the chart that is attached. You must find the definition and at least five examples of each of the food groups.
