Nutrition - Objectives Labels

In Lesson 3.1 on Nutrition, the objective is to understand the essential dietary needs of animals, including humans. The lesson aims to highlight the importance of consuming the correct types and amounts of nutrients, and the fact that animals cannot produce their own food, but rather obtain nutrition through their diet. Students will explore various nutrient groups and the foods that fall under each category. The lesson's success will be measured by the students' ability to answer several key questions, which will demonstrate their grasp of the material covered.

By the end of the lesson, students should be able to name different nutrient groups and identify foods that provide these nutrients. They will also learn to describe the components of a healthy, balanced meal, ensuring they understand how to maintain a nutritious diet. Additionally, the lesson will cover the classification of animals based on their dietary habits, distinguishing between carnivorous, herbivorous, and omnivorous species. These learning outcomes are crucial for students to recognise the diversity of dietary requirements across different species, including our own, and the role of nutrition in overall health.
