LHS students had the opportunity to connect what they’ve been learning in science to choices they make every day! Ashley Hanson, Texas A&M AgriLife Extension FCH Agent, presented a Healthy Living Program to Ms. Wilson’s & Mrs. Henry-Gregory’s A&P and Biology classes as they concluded their biochemistry units. Students explored the American diet, the macronutrients teenagers need, and took a closer look at the calories & types of fats found in foods commonly eaten by teens. Experiences like this help students see that what they learn in the classroom has a purpose beyond a test or assignment. Understanding the science behind nutrition gives them the knowledge to make informed choices throughout their lives. Thank you, Ms. Hanson, for sharing your expertise with our Lobos & helping them discover the purpose behind what they’re learning!
