Nutrition and science experiments

Nutrition was a new word for us on Monday.

From the video the students learned that the foods we eat contain important nutrients including proteins, carbohydrates, minerals, vitamins and fats. No single  food can supply all the nutrients our body needs in order to stay healthy and strong. We need a balanced diet.We are still exploring what a balanced diet should look like. The students created a meal plan for a day and I will send it to a nutritional specialist for feedback.
Mean while, Doc. Shepherd was kind to invite us to a science lab to see how scientists test food for certain nutrients.
The students had to carefully read and follow instructions and then record their results.

Thank you to Doc Shepherd for this interesting lesson!
