The Food Pyramid

Worksheet Description

This worksheet is a learning tool that features a diagram with lines connecting various food items to boxes labeled with food group names. The students’ task is to choose and write the correct food group names in the boxes to match them with the images of the foods at the base of the lines. Foods depicted include rice, milk, grapes, broccoli, and cheese, and the food group labels provided include ‘Fruit,’ ‘Carbohydrate,’ ‘Dairy,’ and ‘Vegetable.’

The worksheet is intended to teach students how to classify foods into their respective food groups correctly. It aims to enhance their knowledge of nutrition by associating common foods with the categories they belong to, such as dairy for milk and cheese, vegetables for broccoli, carbohydrates for rice, and fruits for grapes. This exercise helps students understand the variety within food groups and the importance of each group in a balanced diet. The self-assessment section at the end encourages students to reflect on their learning outcomes and to engage in self-evaluation.
