A personalised way for students to identify nutrients and reflect on their own diet.
This resource was developed to assist students to determine their nutrient intake from their regular diets over a 15 day period. Students then have an activity where they go through their records and categorise the types of foods they have been consuming. A worksheet reflection is included for students. This is an engaging way for students to become more familiar with nutrients in certain types of foods.
