Article Research

I choose an article that went a long with my content area. Physical Education, it was about eating the right foods and how eating right can effect your learning. the article was called, "Brain Food" Dr. William Sears was asked by a teacher to look at a boy in her class. She was certain he had ADD. Dr. William went on to say that many kids that have ADD have NDD which means nutrition disorder.
To me this is a huge thing. I feel that I am going to have to deal with this in the gym. For me its important for my students to eat right so when they enter my class they can do the physical activities that they should be able to do without becoming weak. I think one "study" I can do in my P.E. classes is to have them write down what they ate that day or that week. Compare those answers to what they should eat and challenge them the following week to eat a little better. Having them write down what they ate and compare again the first answers with the last. Meanwhile throughout the two weeks I would evaluate them and see if I can notice any thing different in each student behavior and or participation.
