Lesson plan

Topic

Macronutrients

Objectives

• Understand the three main macronutrients: carbohydrates, proteins, and fats.
• Identify the role of each macronutrient in human health and nutrition.
• Learn to distinguish between different food sources of macronutrients.
• Develop skills in categorising foods based on their macronutrient content.

Materials

• Whiteboard and markers
• Printed worksheets with macronutrient information and food categorisation activities
• Examples of food labels (real or mock)
• Projector for presentations (if applicable)
• Computers or tablets (if available) for research

Grade/Age Group

Year 10

Subject

Design and Technology (Nutrition)

Class Size

20 students

National Curriculum Alignment

This lesson aligns with the National Curriculum for Design and Technology, focusing on healthy food choices and understanding nutritional requirements.

Lesson Structure

Step Number	Step Title	Length (minutes)	Details
1	Introduction	5	Briefly introduce the topic of macronutrients. Ask students what they already know.
2	Explanation of Macronutrients	10	Explain carbohydrates, proteins, and fats, including their functions and sources. Use visuals if available.
3	Group Activity	10	In small groups, students use worksheets to categorise foods according to their macronutrient content.
4	Discussion	5	Discuss group findings and reinforce the importance of balanced intake of macronutrients.
5	Homework Assignment	5	Assign a task for students to find and analyse food labels, focusing on macronutrient content.

Homework

Students will complete a worksheet examining the macronutrient content of various food labels. They will submit their completed worksheets by the next lesson, and the assignments will be reviewed by the teacher without student presentations.

Assessment

• Participation in group discussions and activities
• Completion and quality of the homework assignment

Differentiation

• Provide additional support and resources for students who may need extra help.
• Challenge higher ability students with more complex food analysis tasks.

Safety Considerations

Ensure students are aware of food allergies when discussing food items and labelling.

Additional Notes

• Encourage students to engage with their peers and collaborate during discussions.
• Consider any additional needs or adjustments for students with special educational needs.
