Amazing Food Detective

The Amazing Food Detective is a great interactive website. This website looks into the lives of animated children facing health problems. With each child there is a health mystery and it is your duty to review the case and help find a solution to children’s health problems. While working my way around this website, I choose three different children from the lineup. Emily was the first child I choose. She has a good diet, but eats too much. Her problem is her portion control. I helped her by reducing the amount of food she eats in one place setting. The next child I helped was Matthew. Matthew needs to build and work on his endurance. The solution to his problem is for him to workout at a faster rate. He can do this by getting his heart rate up and keeping it up for a longer period of time. The last child I worked with on this website was Enrique. Enrique needs more calcium in his diet. I decided that Enrique needs healthier bones and teeth. He needs to eat high calcium foods like milk, cheese, and orange juice. I really enjoyed playing on this website and I think my students would as well. I also like how after each case they give you options to print activities you can do without a computer! Awesome!
