    INFORMATION FOR STATION PRESENTERS The information presented in each station will help students learn the key concepts and outcomes for that station. You are an integral part of the learning experience because you will present all of the information and lead the activities. The paper script that you have been given to review will NOT be used on the day of Body Venture. You will use a large flipbook. The flipbook pages will have pictures on the front for students to look at and the script will be on the back of the page. Students will tour the human body exhibit with Power Panther graphics as a guide. Throughout the exhibit, they will learn how to apply Power Panther’s slogan:

    EAT SMART. PLAY HARD. To make the Body Venture experience more fun for everyone, here are a few tips: z Familiarize yourself with the script prior to Body Venture. This will ensure you are more

    relaxed and confident with the information you are presenting. z Have fun yourself! The more animated and engaging you are, the more the students will

    learn and remember. z Dress the part! A few suggestions are included in your script packet. z Maintain some eye contact with the students and encourage everyone to participate. z Don’t allow the children to engage you in conversation or you will not be able to complete

    the entire script. Suggested response: “That sounds like a great idea/comment/question, so please bring that up later in your classroom.”

    z Instruct students to sit down when they first enter the station. Explain that they are not to touch or lean against the walls of the exhibit.

    z Ask students to WALK to the next station. z Ensure students handle the exhibit props carefully. Some exhibit props are not to be

    handled by students at any time. No kicking or punching of exhibit walls. z All presenters will be responsible for maintaining an atmosphere of learning rather than

    running or playing. z The exhibit is enclosed. It could be stuffy or hot inside your assigned station. Dress

    comfortably so that you can move freely with the students as you do activities together. z Bring a bottle of water to keep your voice working! No gum, food or drink other than

    clear, unflavored, water allowed inside the exhibit.

    SOCKS MUST BE WORN BY PRESENTERS. NO SHOES OR BARE FEET ALLOWED IN EXHIBIT!

    TEACHER MEMO 1 To: All Teachers From: RE: Body Venture Date:

    Body Venture, a traveling exhibit from the Kansas State Department of Education, Child Nutrition & Wellness, will visit our school on

    Body Venture is a unique educational program designed to involve kindergarten through fifth grade students in learning the skills and choices for a healthy lifestyle. Body Venture consists of: a 45-foot by 50-foot walk-through exhibit representing the human body, classroom activities for use prior to and following Body Venture, a take-home activity book for students to read with their families and a list of additional nutrition education resources. You and your students will be going through the Body Venture exhibit in groups of 8–10. It will take approximately one hour for each group of students to go through Body Venture. Groups will start through every 5 minutes. For more information on the Body Venture experience, please see the back of this letter or log onto www.bodyventure.org. Body Venture has provided our school with several resources to help students get the most out of the Body Venture experience. Please see me if you would like to utilize any of these resources in your classroom: Classroom activities to introduce students to Body Venture’s healthy messages. Follow-up classroom activities to extend and reinforce the learning experience. A comprehensive list of nutrition and health websites. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me.

    TEACHER MEMO 1, CONT. The Body Venture Experience Students tour the human body with Power Panther graphics as a guide. Throughout the exhibit, they will learn how to apply Power Panther’s slogan:

    154

    At each of Body Venture’s eleven stations, a volunteer presenter engages the students in a five-minute activity focused on healthy choices. The tour begins when students, in groups of eight to ten, enter the school lunchroom and become a food such as a carrot, low-fat milk or a piece of chicken. In the second station, they walk through a giant ear into the brain. Inside the huge brain dome, students experience “brain waves” and learn about brain function. The “foods” step into the exhibit’s larger-than-life mouth, are “swallowed” through the esophagus tunnel and move into the stomach dome. From the stomach, the students travel through the small intestine where they become nutrients, then are “absorbed” into the blood. Then they follow the path of the nutrients to the heart, lung, bone, muscle and skin stations. Students leave the body through a cut in the skin and proceed through Power Panther’s Pathway to Life. The Pathway to Life recaps key health concepts from each of the ten previous stations.

    EAT SMART. PLAY HARD.

    VOLUNTEER THANK YOU LETTER To: From: RE: Body Venture Today’s Date Thank you for being part of the Body Venture experience! The students had fun and learned about healthy behaviors and choices. We appreciate all you did to make it happen! Here are some ways you can be a healthy role model to other children in your life and continue the Eat Smart Play Hard message at home:

    3

    1show by example Eat vegetables, fruits, and whole grains with meals or as snacks. Let your child see that you like to munch on raw vegetables.

    go food shopping together Grocery shopping can teach your child about food and nutrition. Discuss where vegetables, fruits,

    grains, dairy, and protein foods come from. Let your children make healthy choices.

    get creative in the kitchen Cut food into fun and easy shapes with cookie cutters.

    Name a food your child helps make. Serve “Janie’s Salad” or “Jackie’s Sweet Potatoes” for dinner. Encourage your child to invent new snacks. Make your own trail mixes from dry whole-grain, low-sugar cereal and dried fruit.

    4offer the same foods for everyone Stop being a “short-order cook” by making different dishes to please children. It’s easier to plan family meals when everyone eats the same foods.

    5 reward with attention, not food Show your love with hugs and kisses. Comfort with hugs and talks. Choose not to offer sweets as rewards. It lets your child think sweets or dessert foods are better than other foods. When meals are not eaten, kids do not need “extras”—such as candy or cookies—as replacement foods.

    Talk about fun and happy things at mealtime. Turn

    calls later. Try to make eating off the television. Take phone

    focus on each other at the table 6meals a stress-free time.

    listen to your child If your child says he or she is hungry, offer a small,

    Offer choices. Ask “Which would you like for dinner: broccoli healthy snack—even if it is not a scheduled time to eat. 7

    or cauliflower?” instead of “Do you want broccoli for dinner?”

    TV and computer games. Get up and move during commercials to get some physical activity.

    Allow no more than 2 hours a day of screen time like limit screen time 8

    whole family. Involve your children in the planning. Walk, run, and play with your child—instead of sitting on the sidelines. Set an example by being physically active and using safety gear, like bike helmets.

    Make physical activity fun for the encourage physical activity 9

    texture, and smell. Offer one new food at a time. Serve something your child likes along with the new food. Offer new foods at the beginning of a meal, when your child is very hungry. Avoid lecturing or forcing your child to eat.

    Try new foods yourself. Describe its taste,be a good food role model 10

    INFORMATION FOR STATION PRESENTERSThe information presented in each station will help students learn the key concepts and outcomes for that station. You are an integral part of the learning experience because you will present all of the information and lead the activities.The paper script that you have been given to review will NOT be used on the day of Body Venture. You will use a large flipbook. The flipbook pages will have pictures on the front for students to look at and the script will be on the back of the page.Students will tour the human body exhibit with Power Panther graphics as a guide. Throughout the exhibit, they will learn how to apply Power Panther’s slogan:EAT SMARTEAT SMART. PLAY HARD.

    To make the Body Venture experience more fun for everyone, here are a few tips: z

    Familiarize yourself with the script prior to Body Venture. This will ensure you are more relaxed and confident with the information you are presenting.

    z

    Have fun yourself! The more animated and engaging you are, the more the students will learn and remember.

    z

    Dress the part! A few suggestions are included in your script packet.

    z

    Maintain some eye contact with the students and encourage everyone to participate.

    z

    Don’t allow the children to engage you in conversation or you will not be able to complete the entire script. Suggested response: “That sounds like a great idea/comment/question, so please bring that up later in your classroom.”

    z

    Instruct students to sit down when they first enter the station. Explain that they are not to touch or lean against the walls of the exhibit.

    z

    Ask students to WALK to the next station.

    z

    Ensure students handle the exhibit props carefully. Some exhibit props are not to be handled by students at any time. No kicking or punching of exhibit walls.

    z

    All presenters will be responsible for maintaining an atmosphere of learning rather than running or playing.

    z

    The exhibit is enclosed. It could be stuffy or hot inside your assigned station. Dress comfortably so that you can move freely with the students as you do activities together.

    z

    Bring a bottle of water to keep your voice working! No gum, food or drink other than clear, unflavored, water allowed inside the exhibit.

    SOCKS MUST BE WORN BY PRESENTERS. NO SHOES OR BARE FEET ALLOWED IN EXHIBIT!

Throughout the exhibit, they will learn how to apply Power Panther’s slogan: At each of Body Venture’s eleven stations, a volunteer presenter engages the students in a five-minute activity focused on healthy choices. The tour begins when students, in groups of eight to ten, enter the school lunchroom and become a food such as a carrot, low-fat milk or a piece of chicken. In the second station, they walk through a giant ear into the brain. Inside the huge brain dome, students experience “brain waves” and learn about brain function. The “foods” step into the exhibit’s larger-than-lifeTEACHER MEMO 2To: All TeachersFrom:RE: Body VentureDate:Tomorrow you and your students will be a part of the Body Venture experience!
