Eat chocolate, stay healthy

Who doesn't love chocolate? 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. It comes with a level of response style mark scheme that is now used in GCSE science.

Learning objective

Use your understanding of the digestive system to judge if a diet is suitable for a person, based on their nutritional requirements.

The 2014 Ebola outbreak in West Africa was the largest in history, and killed more than 11,000 people. Even survivors are suffering long term health problems. Scientists have responded quickly with a number of possible vaccines. In this activity students are asked if they would volunteer to be part of the safety trial. They gather information from different sources, weigh up risks and benefits and apply what they know about genes to decide if it is a risk worth taking\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ciframe class=\"alignright\" style=\"border: 1px solid #CCC; border-width: 1px; margin-bottom: 5px; max-width: 100%;\" src=\"\/\/www.slideshare.net\/slideshow\/embed_code\/key\/yE5ASTdR4eAVlf\" width=\"595\" height=\"485\" frameborder=\"0\" marginwidth=\"0\" marginheight=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"\u003e \u003c\/iframe\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003cem\u003eLearning\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eobjective\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWeigh up risks and benefits and make a decision, using scientific knowledge of the function of genes.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eBlueprint curriculum link\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUnit: Genetics\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eConcept: Genes: Inherited characteristics are the result of genetic information, in the form of sections of DNA called genes, being transferred from parents to offspring during reproduction\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSkills: Decisions: Estimate the seriousness of the hazards of an experiment or technology\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLearning stage: Analyse\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eActivity contents\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTeachers guide\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePowerPoint file\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe activity is delivered as a zip file.
