Nutrition Resources for Tennessee High Schools
Hello, Tennessee High School Nutrition Teachers!
The PowerPoint notes for all Chapters of the Introduction to Nutrition and Wellness Pressbook have been updated to the 2nd Edition of the book. The content aligns with Tennessee’s State Standards for Nutrition Across the Lifespan and coincides with MTSU’s True Blue Core class, Introduction to Nutrition and Wellness. (True Blue Core is MTSU’s general education.) This site includes updated PowerPoint notes, study sheets, teacher answer sheets, plus a variety of activities and assignments.
After completing the Nutrition Across the Life Span high school course, students may earn three hours of college credit by passing the MTSU Dual Credit Challenge Exam. Successful students receive credit for NFS 1240: Introduction to Nutrition and Wellness, which fulfills an MTSU True Blue Core (General Education) requirement and counts toward most degree programs.

The Dual Credit Challenge Exam
High school students may take the Dual Credit Challenge exam after completing the secondary Nutrition Across the Lifespan class. Cost of the exam is $60 per students. Students who pass the exam will earn credits for the 3-hour NFS 1240 Principles of Nutrition. (The title of this class changes from Principles of Nutrition to Intro. to Nutrition and Wellness effective June 2023.)
Additionally, NFS 1240 is a new General Education class under MTSU's new True Blue Core in the Human Society and Social Relationships category.
Please see the Dual Nutrition handbook for more information.
