A Balanced Diet - KS2 Pack

Download this comprehensive 27-slide PowerPoint and 6 accompanying resources all about a balanced diet. This is a great, tried and tested KS2 science pack that will help children understand that a diet is the food and drink we eat every day, understand how important it is that we drink water, recognise some different food groups, (fats, proteins, carbohydrates, vitamins & minerals) and discuss what makes a meal healthy using the food pyramid. Use for a cross-curricular theme and make notes and write a report about a balanced diet. The pack includes 3 differentiated texts about 'A Balanced Diet' children can use for making their own notes, a mind map and a report rubric that can be used as an assessment tool. To help support the report writing process there is a word bank and lists of connectives useful for report writing for KS2. A fantastic resource that will save you hours of preparation time and will help scaffold children's writing!
