In this activity, students are set the challenge to help Kate stick to her balanced diet and keep her daily chocolate habit. They analyse the nutrients in two different chocolate bars - her favourite and a new 'healthy' version. Then they recommend how much of each chocolate she can eat while keeping within recommended intake limits. The activity can be used as a practice for writing extended answers.

Disappointing

Great start, loved the info sheets but really disappointed that it was so short.

Nuggets of useful information

A fun way to end the year with a recap of key principles.

Short and sweet

A good recap of topics learnt with appropriate explanations

Absolutely fantastic resource.
