SyberShop...digital solutions for eating healthy and being active!

SyberShop is a CD-ROM for children ages 13-19 focusing on physical activity and healthy eating. The CD-ROM can be used individually, in the classroom as a supplemental teaching tool, or with any group of teenagers gathered together interested in learning about physical activity and healthy eating.

SyberShop is composed of five sections that allow students to learn about different areas of physical activity and healthy eating.

  • The Virtual Food Court provides the student with the opportunity to learn about nutritional content of six fast food restaurants.

  • The Virtual Cafeteria allows students to make selections from common foods found in school cafeterias and assess nutritional content.

  • Building Blocks: Basic Tools For Healthy Eating and Being Physically Active provides students with the opportunity to learn about the food guide pyramid, the activity pyramid, nutrition label, and how to calculate calories.

  • Body Dimensions: Factors That Affect Your Mind and Body teaches students about weight management.

  • Be Active: Building Physical Activity Into Your Daily Routine teaches students about the components of physical activity.
