About this worksheet
A school kitchen delivery has arrived in a muddle, and pupils sort it. Sixteen foods, from wholemeal bread and salmon fillet to olive oil and sweetcorn, go into a four-column table: Fruit and Vegetables, Starchy Carbohydrates, Proteins, and Dairy and Fats. Each column heading says what that group does for the body, for example slow-release energy or growth and repair. Page 2 asks which food was hardest to place and has pupils add a food of their own to each group. The answer key explains the tricky ones, including why butter sits with fats and oils on the Eatwell Guide. It fits Year 3 science in the England National Curriculum.
