Description:

This TED-Ed learning activity guides students through the explanation and use of calories.

We hear about calories all the time: How many calories are in this cookie? How many are burned by doing 100 jumping jacks, or long-distance running, or fidgeting? But what is a calorie, really? And how many of them do we actually need? Emma Bryce explains how a few different factors should go into determining the recommended amount for each person.

The activity includes a video, multiple choice and open-ended questions, additional resources to dig deeper, and a guided discussion.
