Health, Nutrition and Digestion KS2/KS3 Science Bundle

Perfect bundle for KS2 and KS3 Biology! This bundle has been created to captivate students curiosity through creative and practical learning. These lessons provide fun and interactive ways for students to learn about health, nutrition, and digestion!

This bundle comes complete with five fully differentiated and resourced lessons:

Lesson 1: Nutrients - discover what makes a balanced diet and the role of nutrients in keeping you healthy. Students will describe the components of a healthy diet and explain the role of each food group in the body.

Lesson 2: Food Tests - investigate how we test for the presence of nutrients in food. Students will recall the nutrients found in food, describe how to test foods and the positive result for starch, lipids, sugar, and protein.

Lesson 3: Digestive System - learn about the structure and function of the digestive system, engage in an exciting practical activity demonstrating how the digestive system works. Students will describe the structure and function of the main parts of the digestive system, and describe how components of the digestive system are adapted to their function.

Lesson 4: Bacteria and Enzymes - explore the role of bacteria and enzymes in digestion. Students will describe the role of carbohydrase, protease and lipase in the breakdown of nutrients. In a class practical, students will investigate the effect of enzyme action on starch.

Lesson 5: Unhealthy diet - uncover health issues associated with consuming an unhealthy diet. Students will recall how you get and use energy, describe some health issues caused by an unbalanced diet, and calculate the energy requirements for different people.

Lessons include engaging and detailed PowerPoint Presentations with differentiated activities, worksheets, quizzes and class practicals/demos. Enjoy the resource and feel free to leave a comment. Thank you.
