Vitamin & Mineral Revision Activity (or cover lesson)

1. Set of vitamin & mineral revision cards - listing functions, sources & extra facts.
2. Activity sheet where students are asked to use the revision cards to complete tasks e.g. which vitamins are anti-oxidants? Which vitamins/minerals work together in partnerships etc. Including an exemplar exam GCSE 6 mark question about dental health in young children.
3. PowerPoint featuring the answers to the activity sheet - making the activity easy to be set by a cover teacher as they can simply reveal the answers after completion & students can self/peer assess.

Students can use the activity cards however the teacher instructs - to take home to revise from, to revise in pairs to test each other on information on cards, to design a menu for a specific need (e.g. those suffering with Anaemia or poor dental health), for class discussions following an instruction e.g. group cards which represent vitamins & minerals that are found in green leafy vegetables - now let’s discuss the relationship between these etc.

Activity page can easily be set as a cover lesson as students use the cards to answer the varying tasks on the page before answering an exemplar GCSE 6 mark question. I personally use the activity page to discuss each task in much more detail to establish links with prior learning etc! PowerPoint reveals correct answers.
