Diet Inquiry Questions!

 

 WALT synthesis research information that is relevant to our inquiry.  

 Learning Task: organise information for learning. 

Articulate and describe what would you like to find out about healthy eating and why

1.I would like to learn how do you get skinny by using a smoothie diet? Because I want to get skinnyer.

I would like to learn how your food turns into poo? I’m just confused.

 

Formulate research questions and add to them where necessary.

• 2. My questions are:

• What are the muscles called that squeeze out the baby?

• What is the worst food for you to eat if you don’t want to get fat?

• What does living off discretionary food do to your weight?

• 3. Select and use an appropriate note-taking strategy to help collate and analyse the information you read.

This will be in a lesson with me for the first texts, Balanced Diet 

4. Locate, evaluate and tag key information from across two more digital texts relevant to your questions.

The EP article Balanced Diet is one text, you will need to locate two more online texts that are relevant to your inquiry.

5. Link those texts here Smoothie Diet: Pros, Cons, and How It Works  Daniel, this is irrelevant to both of your inquiry questions.

Curious Kids: how does my tummy turn food into poo? Very relevant to your second inquiry question.

 

6.  Apply note-taking strategies independently with your two other texts

• Keywords

• Word clarification

• Summarising

1. Smoothies can often be very thick; instead of adding juice, as juice has a lot of sugar, add water to make them thinner and ice to make them thicker.

2. Smoothie diets help you lose weight fast, but when going back to a normal diet, the kilograms will start to come back, so you should redo the diet as many times as needed.

3. Some great smoothie recipes include a Pumpkin Shake, a Green Smoothie (mostly spinach), Berry Blaster, Carrot Smoothie, and a Banana Cinnamon.

4. Eat the different smoothies and have a lot of variety in your ingredients.

5. Commit to the diet; don’t try to sneak in some maccas when you think nobodys looking, or you’ll regret it.

• There is a little gate that closes when you eat food, so that your food doesn’t go into your lungs

• Once into the Oesophagus, the food goes through a process known as peristalsis. This is where your stomach muscles squeeze inwards slightly above the ball of food, pushing it downwards.

• Oesophagus acid turns food into little pieces less than 3mm in diameter

• Enter the small intestine, Pancreas and the Liver help break it down.

• Food is mixed with fat and energy and enters the bloodstream, iron and other nutrients taken out of it. The leftovers are then taken to the large intestine, where most of the water is taken out of it.

• A lot of germs and bugs live in the large intestine, which actually eat some of the waste, producing a gas with Methane, Carbon Dioxide, Hydrogen, Hydrogen Sulfide, and Ammonia. This gas is also known as a fart.

• The poo is then stored in the Rectum, and your brain gets a message telling you that you need to go to the toilet.
