Description
- Overview:
- In this unit, students examine the question: How does access to a specific diet (nutrition) impact human rights? As students explore biological information on how the human body uses food as a source of energy, they will explore the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR) document, to examine the crucial question of how access to a proper diet is related to a person’s rights.

An excellent resource for cross-disciplinary study, this curriculum combines Common Core close reading of a primary text focused on human rights, with science inquiry and use of open data sets around hunger and nutrition.
