The Five Food Groups - Introduction to Nutrition

Curated and Reviewed by Lesson Planet

Pupils study the five food groups as an introduction to nutrition. For this nutrition lesson, students learn about which foods belong in each of the five food groups and they determine the need to eat a healthy diet. They keep a journal of the food that they eat over a weekend before comparing the food to the food pyramid. They complete the journal activity for another two day and compare it to the original one.
