Nutrients and energy
In this lesson, pupils learn how energy is required to fuel many different body processes, growth and activities and that different people need different amounts of energy. They explore macronutrients and micronutrients and how we can measure energy intake using kilojoules or calories as well as learning about basal metabolic rate and average activity levels. They also learn that although micronutrients do not provide us with energy, they are essential for health.
