** Introduction: **
====It is important for children to learn about healthy lifestyle choices at an age where they can start to implement them. This space was created to provide teachers with a task outline and lesson structure for an authentic learning task which can be incorporated into health, art, and technology topics. There is also a large variety of resources available for a teacher to use within their classroom as interactive activities, further research and information on the topic (for the teacher) and suggested websites for students to access whilst conducting their own research.====
