Class 3 Food and Nutrition Questions with Answers

Food gives us energy to play, helps us grow and protects us from illness. In Class 3, children learn the main nutrients (carbohydrates, proteins, fats, vitamins and minerals), which foods are rich in each, and why a balanced diet with a mix of them all matters more than any single "healthy" food.

What your child should know

• Carbohydrates and fats give energy; proteins help the body grow and repair.
• Vitamins and minerals protect the body. Vitamin A helps eyesight, for example.
• A balanced diet has all the nutrients in the right amounts, plus water and fibre.
• Too much sugar or fried food is not good for health.
