Identifying Food Groups

Learning about food groups and the Eatwell Guide is crucial for pupils in KS3 (7-8) as it forms the foundation of their understanding of nutrition and healthy eating habits. By familiarising themselves with food groups such as fruits and vegetables, carbohydrates, proteins, dairy, fats and sugars, students develop the knowledge needed to make informed choices about their diets.

This 1 hour lesson empowers pupils to make healthier food choices, as understanding the importance of a balanced diet at a young age can instill lifelong habits that contribute to better physical and mental health.
