National Curriculum Alignment

This lesson corresponds to the national curriculum by integrating nutrition and food technology concepts, providing practical application through food preparation, and promoting critical thinking through label reading and group discussion.

Homework

Students will track their carbohydrate intake for one day by listing food items consumed and the carbohydrate content (if available). They will submit this tracking in written form for review at the next class without presentation.
