Introduction/Review
• Introduce yourself
• Review the signal you chose with the students
to indicate when you want them to be quiet or
to get their attention
• Review Lesson 1 by asking:
What is the message I want you to remember when it comes to fruits and vegetables?
Why do we want to eat different colored fruits and vegetables?
What do we find in fruits and vegetables that are good for us?
How does Vitamin A help our body?
How does Vitamin C help our body?
How does Fiber help our body?
Cups of fruits and veggies
• How many cups of fruits and veggies do girls
and boys need to eat every day?
What is fiber?
• Fiber acts like a scrub brush. Fiber is found in all plant foods, especially
fruits and vegetables
• Hold up fiber poster and the scrub brush
• Fiber works like a super scrubber and gives our digestive system or food
tube, a workout as well as cleaning waste products out of our bodies
• Write digestive system on the board
• Demonstrate how a hair brush takes out tangles, a scrub brush cleans
counters, and tooth brushes clean our teeth. Fiber works just like these
brushes to keep our insides clean.
Who ate a fruit/veggie?
• Pick three to four students to name one fruit or vegetable he/she
ate during the day. Then ask the last one what do you think
happened to that fruit/vegetable you ate today? Do you think it is
somewhere in your body and still looks like a banana?- (of course
not!)
• Let’s see what happens to the food we eat...
• Hold up your digestive system poster
Digestive System Poster
•

•
Ask students to guess how long their digestive system is
20 feet long for children and 30 feet for adults
Demonstrate 20 feet with a nylon rope
Use the scrub brush to demonstrate
how fiber cleans the inside of the
digestive system from the month to
stomach and through
the intestines
Anatomy Apron

Let’s take a look at what the inside of our body looks like
Ask for a student volunteer to wear the Anatomy Apron
Place the anatomy apron on the student
Velcro the heart, lungs, stomach and
intestines onto the apron
• Next place the liver above the stomach
• Next place the kidney on the back
of the apron
Fiber protects against cancer and
constipation
• What happens if you don’t eat enough fiber?
• You may have constipation. That is when food
doesn’t move like it should through your body and
you may get a stomach ache.
• Fiber also decreases our risks of getting some
cancers
Water
• Did you know 50-70% of our bodies are made up of
water?
• Water is so important
• Water works with fiber to prevent constipation
• Water clean the inside and the outside of your body
• Does anyone know how you can tell if you are
drinking enough water?
• Show the bottle with lemonade (no brand name)
and apple juice (no brand name)
