Grouped into three sections by education level, the FNIC Nutrition and Food Safety Education section offers both lesson plans and activities appropriate for each stage of development. The Pre-School to Elementary School level lessons and activities are hands on and active ways to discover how food helps healthy bodies grow. The Middle School to High School level lessons incorporate lessons on math, science and history including lessons on reading the new food label. Lastly, the General and Family Education level lessons focus on cooking with kids, community activities and planting an edible garden.
