School Nutrition
In the following module you will learn more about school nutrition. We’ll start by better understanding the differences between nutrition and nutrition services before we learn more about nutrition standards and the historical and scientific reasoning behind them. We’ll end the module with practical ways that you can promote a positive nutritional environment in your school.

We’ll learn more about the differences in terminology and the science behind physical activity and how it relates to children’s overall health.
