The importance that students understand the topic of healthy eating is that they are able to apply that knowledge to new situations, taking into account the benefits gained. For 90% of the students was really productive and since the beginning of the implementation of the teaching unit worked as a group their synthesis project where each group member did his best to take advantage of activities to enrich their project and finally show his colleagues work performed assuming a responsible and caring behavior towards others. In this way, we need to promote knowledge generators, that they question, provoke and challenge the student, their creativity and their sense of wonder; that capture your interest and allow transpose what they have learned, applying it to new situations to continue learning. Students demonstrated their knowledge is not simply remained in the classroom but flexibly managed to go beyond and somehow transforming their reality from the point of view critical since eating healthy became a daily practice being aware of the benefits that come from it, many of them inviting members of your household to do the same.
