We find out about the molecular structure of fat, its food sources and its function in the body. Stefan Gates demonstrates how much exercise you have to do to burn off high-fat foods, and discusses the long term health risks of putting on weight. He explains the difference between saturated and unsaturated fats, and their links to cholesterol and heart disease. He uses an experiment to show how much of both types of fat are contained with one portion of chicken korma. This clip is from the BBC series Gastro Lab. Stars of stage, sport and screen reveal the foods that keep them at the top of their profession, while presenter Stefan Gates explores the world of nutrition with experiments that will make tongues tingle, stomachs churn and hair stand on end.

KS3 Biology / KS3 and 2nd Level Food Technology After watching the clip, pupils can be set the following task: Examine food labels (or manufacturer’s nutritional information) from a range of 3 or 4 ready meals. List the unsaturated and saturated fat content. What ingredients provide the saturated and unsaturated fat content? Evaluate the amount of fat that is provided by the meal for a healthy diet. What could be changed to reduce the fat content in the meal? GCSE Biology After watching the clip, pupils can be set the following task. Modify a recipe by considering how you might alter the ingredients, cooking methods and portion size for chicken korma that would better meet the nutritional needs of Johnny Cochrane. Analyse the nutritional content of your suggested recipe. Cook and taste your recipe and explain how well this will meet his needs. This clip will be relevant for teaching Biology and Food Technology at Key Stages 2, 3 and 4 in England, Wales and Northern Ireland, and 2nd , 3rd and 4th Level and National 4 and 5 in Scotland. ===================== For more clips from other subjects at the BBC Teach YouTube channel: http://www.youtube.com/bbcteach More from BBC Learning Zone: http://www.bbc.co.uk/learningzone More resources from BBC Bitesize: http://www.bbc.co.uk/education ===================== Subscribe to create your own customised playlists, and get notified about our latest clips.
