Lesson Plan: Carbohydrates Instructor: Suzanne Learning Objectives 1. Explain the main role of carbohydrates. 2. List and explain the different categories of carbohydrates. 3. Understand why carbohydrates should be appoximately 45-60% of the diet. 4. List healthy food sources of carbohydrates. 5. Interpret simple sugars on a food label. 6. Understand the meaning of a whole grain. Summary Carbohydrates are the perferred source of energy for the human body. Monosaccharides, disaccharides and polysaccharides make up the main sources of dietary carbohydrates. Monosaccharides are single sugars that consist of glucose, galactose and fructose. Glucose is the sugar that is found in the blood. Dissaccharides are double sugars that are made from monosaccharides. They include, sucrose, lactose and maltose. The digestive system will break them down to their single sugar units before they are absorbed into the blood. Polysaccharides are strings of monosaccharides. They make up starch, fiber and glycogen. These carbohydrates are often referred to as “complex carbs”. This category of carbohydrates also contains our whole grains which are an important part of nutrition. Food scientist ask us to identify and limit simple sugars in our diet while eating at least 3 servings of whole grains every day. Essential Question What are carbohydrates and why are they important in the diet? Activating Strategie: Lesson will be taught in the regular classroom with a computer that has an internet connection and an overhead projector. Teaching Strategie: Lecture Outline I Carbohydrates A.
