Energy and Nutrients

Welcome to the Energy and Nutrients section for students aged 11-16 years. It provides a range of colourful PowerPoint presentations, note sheets, worksheets, interactive tutorials and other resources to support learning about:

• Energy
• Nutrients
• Dietary fibre and water
• Alcohol
• Nutritional needs
• The digestion process - there is also a video looking at the digestion process

Two levels of information have been created to help with progression - foundation and extension. Some areas will have foundation resources only, whereas others will have both foundation and extension. Within the interactive tutorials (see below), for both foundation and extension, there are three levels of differentiation.

An exciting collection of interactive tutorials has been developed exploring:

• The eatwell plate
• 8 tips for eating well
• Micronutrients
• Macronutrients
• Energy - foundation and extension
• The digestion process - foundation

A guide has been developed to help you make the most of the interactive tutorials. Click here to access.
