Create your your own balanced diet plate foldable

A foldable designed to engage learners studies nutrient groups. The end result is the student having a fold out resource either in their books or as an external interactive version. There is space left on the sections so you as the teacher have autonomy to instruct your learners to fill in as you wish - I always make sure that when I teach it my learners have included the nutrient group name, functions, examples of foods which contain the nutrients . Also included are 2 worksheets. a factfile research task which could also be used as a homework and a visual hexagon activity in which students are required to make links between the pictures and to explain why each one is important.
