Food - Self Assessment
Science Resource Description
The provided text appears to be a structured self-assessment guide aimed at helping students evaluate their understanding of nutrition. It prompts students to consider whether they can identify different nutrient groups found in foods, such as carbohydrates, proteins, fats, vitamins, and minerals. Additionally, it encourages them to think about whether they can give examples of food types that belong to each nutrient group, such as grains for carbohydrates, meats for proteins, and oils for fats.
Moreover, the self-assessment guide asks students to reflect on their ability to describe the potential health effects of under-eating or overeating. This includes understanding the consequences of not consuming enough nutrients, which can lead to malnutrition and health problems, or the effects of consuming too much food, which can result in conditions like obesity. The repeated phrase "My teacher says:" suggests that there is an opportunity for teacher feedback on each of these points, though the actual feedback is not included in the text.
