Classifying Foods

Worksheet Description

This worksheet is a classification activity where students are asked to sort a variety of food images into different food group categories. The worksheet features four labeled boxes, each representing a specific food group: “Fruits and Vegetables,” “Milk Products,” “Meat, Fish, Eggs,” and “Cereals and Grains.” Below these boxes, there are images of various food items such as fruits, vegetables, cheese, fish, eggs, and grains. Students must decide which image belongs in which category and write or place the item in the appropriate box. There’s also a section for self-assessment labeled “How Did You Do?” with emoticons for students to express their feelings about their work.

The worksheet’s objective is to teach students about the major food groups and the foods that belong to each group. It encourages them to recognize the different types of foods that are essential for a balanced diet. This activity helps to develop categorization skills and nutritional knowledge, enabling students to make informed choices about their eating habits. The self-assessment portion also helps students to think critically about their performance and learn to self-evaluate.
