Let’s learn about... Carbohydrates

‘Let’s learn about… Carbohydrates’ is a complete workbook which explores the function of carbohydrates in the body.
Students will be able to:

• Identify foods that are classified as carbohydrates.
• Define the function of carbohydrates.
• Interpret the information in a food diary.
• Compare two differing food diaries and interpret the results.
• Use your understanding of types of carbohydrates to suggest foods to consume.
• Make the connection between low carb diets and their impact on health.
• Use your understanding of carbohydrates to plan a suitable days food intake.
• Design a factsheet about carbohydrates to help inform and persuade people to include them in their diets.

Learning outcomes have been written using Blooms Taxonomy to ensure that students are successfully challenged as they progress through the work. Additionally, ‘Stretch and Challenge’ activities throughout the pages give students the opportunity to extend or consolidate their learning. These can be used as either extension work in the lesson or as standalone homework tasks.
Workbooks have been purposely designed to be black and white to reduce photocopying costs, and include high quality B&W clipart throughout. These images allow students the opportunity to customise or colour their work and are particularly helpful for students with ADHD who like to doodle whilst they learn.
As the first in a series of workbooks looking at Macro nutrients, I am excited to introduce this resource to the TES community.

A little about me…
I love creating resources and planning schemes of learning; it’s one of the best parts about being a teacher for me. Having been a teacher of Food & Nutrition, Business and Travel for 12 years I have recently moved out of permanent employment in education and I am currently working as a supply teacher covering a range of subjects. This is helping me to gain a wider insight into different curriculums as well as giving me the time to work freelance producing resources. I put these resources together with love as I am passionate about educating young people and want their experience in the classroom to be the best it possibly can be. I hope that I can help achieve that.
My motto… Insire – Instruct – Inform.
