I am still in the process of analyzing the data I've collected. From what I can see from compiling it into my spread sheets my students don't eat appropriately and their meals have little to no nutritional value. There seems to be a direct correlations between how "grumpy" they are and that seems to definitely reflect in their referral rates and attitudes in class.
In my opinion this type of research needs to be conducted for a longer period of time. I also wonder if the time of year might produce different results. This is the last trimester at my school and a lot of our student's last opportunity to graduate on time. In other words they can see the light at the end of the tunnel, so a lot of our students on their best behavior compared to the beginning if the year where the they can't see the light. My results will alter my nutrition unit - I need to spend more time on the accessibility and cost friendly healthy foods as well as the importance food is to be successful.

I agree that more time on our research and collecting of data must be needed to truly determine if our research truly had an impact. However, I am glad to see that your research gave your valuable data that you determined that there can be some change within your teaching that can be improved for the good of your students.

I agree with you that more time is needed for your research. I think that most of us might need more time in order to collect more data or include different activities or tools to collect data. It’s also very interesting that you mentioned that the time of year might make a difference in your data results. Just thinking about it it makes sense that it just might. Since we will be continuing to work on this later in the year it’s going to be interesting to find out if that does make a difference for your students. And hopefully with the results you get, you can support your students and they can also learn the benefits of exercising and eating healthy.
