GUESS WHO’S COMING TO DINNER IN THE NEW
MILLENIUM? - FIBRE
OTHER SUGGESTED ACTIVITIES FOR STUDENTS
1. Using dietary food tables, such as The Nutritional Values of Australian Foods, design a
table or bar graph that depicts the dietary fibre content of 8 different breakfast cereals.
Ensure that you give the table a name and clearly label the side and base of the
table/graph.
2. Do as above (1.) only compare a range of fruit and vegetables
3. Using the food tables, find and write down 10 very different foods that have no fibre at all.
4. Using your artistic talents or a computer, plan and present on a plain piece of A4 paper, a
tasty one day high fibre diet suitable for a teenager, including breakfast, lunch, dinner and
snacks.
5. Prepare an attractive three-fold leaflet from A4 paper that would help educate people
about dietary fibre. It should be attractively presented, easy to read with the most
important facts about fibre, and be suitable to be published and left in a Health Clinic or
Doctors’ waiting room.
