Lesson Plans Lack of physical activity and good nutrition affect a student's ability to learn. The typical student not only skips breakfast, but also eats a less-than-nutritious lunch. Combine that with physical inactivity and you have students with shorter attention spans who can't properly focus on classwork.   Knowing how much you care about student performance, California Project LEAN created this Kit with a grant from the Nutrition Education Training Section of the California Department of Education. Due to popularity and high demand, the Jump Start Teens lesson plans have been updated to include new Dietary Guidelines for Americans, Spanish-language worksheets, and media resources.  Jump Start Teen's real-life, cross-curricular lessons encourage students to eat healthy, keep moving and take action!    Read below for a quick glance on how the Kit reinforces your curriculum. Jump Start Teens Reinforces Your Curriculum With:  Complete, easy-to-follow lessons and worksheets are teacher and student tested.   Creative, stand-alone activities integrate nutrition and physical activity with language arts, math, science, social studies and more!   Most hands-on lessons are short, easily taught in one class period, with links to community service through optional extensions.   Lessons support team building among teachers, coaches and nutritional staff, as well as parents, local business, and the greater community.
