Balanced Diet & Food Groups

Science · The Human Body · conceptual

Know the main food groups (carbohydrates, proteins, fats, vitamins, minerals, fibre, water) and understand that a balanced diet includes the right amounts from each group to keep the body healthy and provide energy, growth materials, and protection from illness

Sign in to track this

What mastery looks like

  • Name at least five food groups and give an example food for each (e.g. carbohydrates = bread, protein = chicken)
  • Explain what carbohydrates (energy), proteins (growth and repair), and fats (energy and warmth) do for the body
  • State that vitamins and minerals protect against illness and help the body work properly

Check your understanding

If Balanced Diet & Food Groups looked at their dinner plate, could they identify which foods give energy, which help muscles grow, and which keep them healthy?
