    EXPLORE / TŪHURA 

    • We are EXPLORING the nutritional requirements of a top athlete by practically investigating the energy content of food
    • We are EXPLORING different investigative approaches during the term so that we can successfully identify which approach is better to use during a practical
    • We are EXPLORING bones, the skeleton and movement through a practical investigation
    • We are EXPLORING medical science so that we can understand how all the body systems work together in a healthy athlete
    Learning Intentions:      We are learning to (WALT)...
    • Name the main food groups and give an example of each 
    • Revise the function of each food type/ nutrient group
    • Investigate deficiency diseases - should one not get enough of a certain food group. 
    • Carry out a number of food test investigations 
    • Describe the elements of a healthy diet and why the different nutrients are essential 
    • Investigate and calculate the amount of energy in a particular food type by doing the  burning food  investigation
    • Research the required amount of food needed by a top athlete 
    • Identify the build of different athletes - revise the structure of the skeleton 
    • Identify antagonistic muscles by dissecting a chicken wing 
    • Perform the LAST Practical Investigation Task for NCEA / ASSESSMENT 2 in class 

    • Success Criteria: I can/have...
    •  Successfully list the different food groups and give an example of each
    • Correctly list the function of each nutrient group
    • Explain what the molecular structure of the different food groups and sucessfully explain how we would test for each 
    • Correctly discuss the elements of a healthy diet as well as deficiency diseases 
    • Successfully calculate the amount of energy in a food type by performing an investigative practical
    • Discuss the energy requirements and thus diet of a top athlete 
    • Successfully list the bones in the human skeleton and discuss the movement of the antagonistic muscles 
    • Successfully perform the LAST TASK for the NCEA / Assessment 2 
    • Activities:

    1. Assessment 2 - Practical investigation into the energy content of food. - See Google class for details of practical. This is the start of our       

         assessment 

    2. TASK 2: How to test for the different nutrients - observing the different colour tests 

    3. Education Perfect tasks 

    4. Brain pop 

    5. Various Videos on these topics
