About this worksheet
Fuel, Fitness, and Function: Inside the Human Machine is the text in this four-page Year 6 comprehension. It compares the body to a self-repairing vehicle. It covers carbohydrates and glucose, fatty deposits in arteries, how aerobic exercise makes the heart stronger, and what happens during deep sleep. It ends with nicotine, carbon monoxide and tar. Ten questions move from retrieval to vocabulary such as sedentary, then to a pupil who plans to run 5 km a day and eat only sweets. The answer key gives model answers. It meets the England National Curriculum objective on diet, exercise and lifestyle.
