Osteo Teaching Aid

[Denise Ferguson]

Hello,

Here are the directions for the display...

1/4 c      newborn
31/2 c    10 yr old
7c          15 yr old
11c        adult
61/2c     woman with detectable osteoporosis (30-40% bone loss)

I use dairy council food models in the background for good sources of 
calcium...I also have a model of a small skeleton and some pictures 
of a bone x-ray of both normal bone and osteoporosis.  I usually play 
a guessing game with the kids and put up the cup measurement cards 
and have them match the age cards.  You can use big zip lock bags, 
but I like the clear plastic jars...

I would also recommend a new video that I really love...called "A
crash course on calcium"...for order info call 1-800-WHY-MILK

good luck and BONE-Appetite!

Subject:       Osteo Teaching Aid

Earlier in the year (1/31 or 2/1/98), someone posted the "how to" for an
osteoporosis teaching aid which used flour to demonstrate calcium amounts
I've mis-placed the information and would like to use this for an osteoporosis
prevention project I am working on.  Could someone help me out and re-send it?

Also, Laura, are the PHNutr posts archived?  If so, how can they be accessed?

Many thanks in advance!
