Important Nutrients Worksheets KS2 and KS3 Food - Hospitality and Catering

If this worksheet is helpful, please help me by leaving a review.

These worksheets introduce KS2 and KS3 students to macro and micro nutrients through a fun, accessible activity featuring cartoon nutrient superheroes. Students are prompted to think about why each nutrient is important and write short explanations based on class discussion.

Designed to be teacher-led, this resource works best when the teacher talks students through each nutrient, helping them link the cartoon characters to their real-life functions. It pairs well with BBC Bitesize resources to reinforce learning.

Created by a specialist Food teacher, with illustrations generated using AI tools, this worksheet is a free sample from a 16-page KS3 Food & Nutrition printable zine. The full zine explores nutrients through two accessible recipes – cheese scones and bean chilli – and includes recap tasks, assessments, sensory analysis, and kitchen skill checklists. Supplied in both editable PowerPoint and print-ready PDF formats, all in black and white for easy photocopying or student colouring.
