Or, as in George’s case today in class, just a big cloud of black smoke!
As we continue on with our Health and Nutrition Unit this month, students are learning the importance of making smarter food choices in order to lead healthier and more balanced lifestyles. We have studied the five different food groups, interpreted nutrition facts labels, thought about how to make leaner protein choices, and have been keeping track of our daily meal consumption. Putting together what we have learned so far in our unit, I demonstrated how to play a game using “George” as an example. The mission is to add enough fuel and amount of physical activity to your rocket ship in order to blast off and reach Planet Power. You can enter in what you ate today to see how you did, or you can input what you think would ensure your arrival to Planet Power. Let me know if you shot into space, or remained Earthbound! Ready? Here we go: 3… 2… 1… Blast Off!
That was a fun game when we played it in fifth grade. Hey Ms. yick, it’s Alex. Have fun teaching Leah’s class(Your class). Keep rockin on into high school.
This game is fun and a bit difficult, it took me 3 times before I finally got to Plant Power. The key is to add alot of that catogory until there is a thing that says enough and to do stuff low on fat. If you want to learn healthy then when you are playing this game you’re going to get healthy. Good luck flying to Planet Power!!
This game is very fun and in the meantime you will know if you ate the right amount of everything. Also if you an get to planet power you get a certificate. You can print the certificate out!!

P.S. I kindof failed hehehehe
I tried this game 2 times and first time i actually totally failed….. but the next time i almost made it, the guy parachuted down to planet power but he missed the whole planet!!!!???? ( this guy needs more training on parachuting!!)I managed to play 2 rounds before i stopped, the game felt like it was just a fun game not an educational one!!
It was fun and interesting for me to learn about which was healthier and able to choose healthier food. It kinda took me a lot of times to get to the planetpower.It was a great time choosing food to blast off to Planetpower.
P.S. That anstrounot is not that good!! =)
The game was kind of hard because now I’m playing it and I can’t get to the right amount. And now I have to syart all over again!
And I got there, finally!
Hi Miss Yick!! the game is really fun. I tried it 3 times in a roll, but i just didn’t make it. After many times of trying and trying, i know what the trick is. It’s to add food that has the right amount, or servings, untill the computer says something like you have enough grains and stuff like that.
Please Post more games or website that has something to do with science!!!

Hi! This game is very fun and really hard. When I had enough food but I forgot to do activity so I cannot BLAST OFF!!! I think that it is because he/she is too heavy to let the spaceship to fly! Next time I wish I could remember to have enough food AND activity!!!
