Part of Lesson Plan: Burn, Baby, Burn - The Role of Metabolism and Activity Level

Activity Overview / Details

What is Metabolism? How fast is your metabolism? How does this relate to your body, the amount of fat vs. muscle you possess and how you can continue to improve your health? Well, let's look at a few short videos on the subject and see if we can generate some sensible answers to these questions...

Teachers, make sure to have these questions up on the board to lead the discussion. You might opt to have students make some guesses in advance of the video segments and record them on the board and then refine upon watching the videos...or simply ask the students to jot these questions down and record what they can while watching the segments for sharing later.
