Audience:

School Aged Elementary Students $Ages %&'() who *artici*ate in the afterschool *rogram at Mill

Cree+, Julia P, angston Cha*el, Mattie i#ely and Sally -, which are Bulloch county schools

located in Southeast Georgia.

Purpose/Background

The *ur*ose of this lesson *lan is to teach students aout *lant&ased *roteins. Students

will e taught aout the im*ortance of ha#ing enough *rotein in their diet and the functions of

*roteins. Meat is often associated with *rotein ut there are many *lant ased *rotein sources

that are more nutritious than meat. The lesson *lan will focus on *lant *roteins ecause most

Americans consume too much animal *roteins. Consuming too much animal *rotein can increase

the ris+ of cardio#ascular diseases ecause of its saturated fat content. The American /eart

Association recommends limiting total fat inta+e to 01&213 of total calories for ages 4&'5. Most

of the fat consumed should e monounsaturated fat and *olyunsaturated fatty acids that come

from #egetale oils, nuts, seeds and fish. 6ocusing on *lant *roteins will hel* students meet their

*rotein needs and limit saturated fat. Ade7uate *rotein inta+e is #ery im*ortant for this age grou*

ecause they are growing ra*idly. The American /eart Association recommends moderating

meat inta+e for e#eryone o#er age 0. Plant *roteins also contain many #itamins and minerals that

are not found in animal *rotein. Students who +now more aout nutrition at a young age can start

de#elo*ing healthy food haits and ma+e healthier food choices. Pre#entati#e measures can

*ositi#ely im*act an indi#idual8s li#elihood of comating weight gain and comoridities

associated with weight gain.

& As+ students: ;hat are eam*les of *lant *roteins Ty*es of *lant *roteins: Blac+ eans, *into

eans, +idney eans, tofu, rown rice, nuts, 7uinoa, chia seeds, hummus, *eanut utter, and

whole grains. As+ students if they li+e any of these foods.

Protein contains uilding loc+s that hel* us grow. There are two +inds of *roteins: com*lete

and incom*lete. Com*lete *roteins contain all of the uilding loc+s to hel* us grow, while

incom*lete *rotein contains only some of these uilding loc+s. Proteins from *lants tend to e

incom*lete *roteins, ut that does not mean that are worse, ecause they also contain many other

things that are im*ortant for your health. By eating many different ty*es of *lant *roteins, you

are ale to get all the uilding loc+s that are found in a com*lete *rotein.H

Along with hel*ing you grow, *roteins can hel* you heal if you get hurt. 6or eam*le, when

you fall and cut your +nee, *rotein hel*s uild new s+in. The following are more eam*les of

what *rotein does.

& @t can hel* you uild strong ones and muscles, this hel*s you grow.

& @t hel*s uild healthy hair, s+in, and nails. >ur hair, s+in, and nails are made u* of *rotein.

Plant vs, Anial Protein

Plant ased *roteins contain many good things for our ody that are not found in animal

*rotein. Plant ased *roteins contain many different #itamins and minerals. These etra #itamins

and minerals in *lant ased *roteins hel* our odies heal when we get hurt. 6or eam*le, when

the enefits of *lant *roteins:

& Plant Proteins ha#e something called fier that hel*s your tummy feel full.

& Plant ased *roteins ha#e lots of #itamins and minerals that gi#es us energy to *lay outside

longer. These #itamins and minerals are also good for our heartL they ma+e it stronger.

& Plant ased *roteins also hel* a #ery im*ortant *art of our ody grow. !oes anyone +now what

*art of the ody this is $As+ students) This *art of the ody is our rain. Some *lant *roteins

such as nuts, es*ecially walnuts, hel* our rains grow. This hel*s us do etter in school.

& ;hy should you choose *lant *rotein o#er animal *rotein They contain more nutrients than

animal *rotein that hel* us grow taller and faster. @f you eat more *lant *rotein, you will grow

faster.

& As+ the students if anyone has any 7uestions and allow any remaining time to answer.

Activit% Script:

& As you learned in the lecture, some *lant&ased *roteins are missing some of the uilding loc+s

they need to e a com*lete *rotein, so you need to comine two incom*lete *roteins to ma+e a

com*lete *rotein. This does not ma+e *lant *rotein any less im*ortant, ecause *lant ased

*roteins are a #ery im*ortant *art of your diet, ecause they are full of #itamins and minerals that

will hel* you grow. @n this acti#ity, it is your ?o to find the matching incom*lete *rotein *ule

*iece in order to ma+e a com*lete *rotein *ule. The *lant ased *rotein *airs that you will e

ma+ing right now are ?ust a few eam*les of the many different *airs you can ma+e at home for

dinner or a snac+. ;hen you thin+ you ha#e found the matching *iece to your incom*lete *rotein

*ule, raise your hands, and we will come to chec+ out your *ule.

&!oes e#eryone understand $Pause)

&$At this time, the instructor will go from grou* to grou* as+ing what *air *rotein *ule

they ha#e made. Be sure to as+ the grou* if they ha#e tried anything from each of the

*ule *ieces. Be sure to e #ery ecited and com*lement them after each *air has gone.)

& Pass out *archment *a*er and *re&*ortioned reci*e ingredients. Pass out chef8s hats. /a#e the

students wash their hands under with warm soa*y water for 0( seconds. Students will learn

nutrition information aout their reci*e. !escrie to students that the *lant *rotein in the smiling

urrito reci*e comes from the hummus, which is made from garano eans $chic+*eas), and the

lac+ eans. These ingredients along with the wheat tortilla form a com*lete *rotein, as learned

from the earlier lecture and game. A large *icture of the finished *roduct will e *ro#ided for
