Lesson Plan 2.6 - Energy balance

Overall Expectations:

B3. Energy Balance: demonstrate an understanding of the physical processes involved in maintaining energy balance; B3. Energy Balance: demonstrate an understanding of the physical processes involved in maintaining energy balance;

Specific Expectations:

·         B3.3 explain the concept of energy balance, and describe how energy balance is achieved (e.g., by changing the volume and types of food eaten; by changing the type, duration, or intensity of exercise)

  • B3.4 c and interpret data to determine how various factors affect calorie expenditure (e.g., data about duration and intensity of exercise, body composition, basal metabolic rate, energy required for various forms of activity) Teacher prompts: “How does basal metabolic rate (BMR) change throughout the lifespan?” “How does the average daily caloric expenditure of a sixteen-year-old male compare to that of a seventy-year-old male?”
