This kit provides teachers and students with an outstanding blend of multimedia materials designed to support health-related programs. Correlated to the National Standards for Family and Consumer Sciences Education and the National Health Education Standards, the Nutrition S.M.A.R.T. Box combines core content, creative activities, a Teacher's Guide with suggested lesson plans, and a Teacher's Resource Pack to deliver an enriching and engaging learning experience.
In addition, three types of assessment tools (with answer keys/scoring rubrics) are included to help evaluate learning after each lesson:

• Selected response assessments - questions to test a student's knowledge (e.g., multiple choice, matching, or true/false)
  
• Constructed response assessments - exercises to test a student's ability to convey information and/or demonstrate skills (e.g., fill-in-the-blank, short answer, essay, visual depiction, reading comprehension, outlining, or graphing)
  
• Authentic assessments - projects to test a student's aptitude for communicating information and applying it in a new way (e.g., ideas for research papers, presentations, debates, demonstrations, artwork, journals, stories, experiments, or interviews)
