PUPIL WORKSHEET
Food-jobs evidence mission
Autumn 1 · Week 5 · Lesson B
Name: ____________________________ Date: __________________
Use food information to revise fictional menu models, explaining nutrient jobs and why one food cannot meet every need.
Use this sheet with the lesson. You may point, sign, speak, draw, write, dictate or direct an adult. Keep your first idea so you can show what changed.
1. Read the evidence
Use this reference; do not guess from a food’s colour or label it good/bad.
| Food card | Some useful evidence |
| Bread or potato | Starchy carbohydrate gives energy; these foods supply other nutrients too. |
| Beans or lentils | Protein supports growth/repair; also carbohydrate and fibre. |
| Carrot or apple | Fruit/vegetables supply differing vitamins, minerals and fibre. |
| Water | Helps transport and temperature control; no food energy. |
PUPIL TASK / Autumn 1 · Week 5 · Lesson B
2. Improve the bread-and-water model
Write, draw, point or dictate as agreed with your teacher.
Keep bread and water. Add cards to show a wider range of food jobs. Choose from beans, lentils, carrot and apple.
My added cards: ___.
The first addition helps because ___.
The second addition helps because ___.
One need this simple model cannot fully show: ___.
PUPIL TASK / Autumn 1 · Week 5 · Lesson B
3. Make the second model meat-free
Write, draw, point or dictate as agreed with your teacher.
Original fictional case: meat, rice and vegetables. Keep rice/vegetables and replace the protein-source card.
| Version | My replacement | Body-job evidence |
| First meat-free version | ||
| A different workable version |
PUPIL TASK / Autumn 1 · Week 5 · Lesson B
4. Revise and explain
Write, draw, point or dictate as agreed with your teacher.
Check a choice against the information table. Keep your first version.
My first choice or reason: ___.
My improved choice or reason: ___.
The evidence that helped: ___.
Exit: why do bodies need a range of nutrients?
Choose a response route
Agree one route with your teacher; you do not need every route.
Supported
Choose two cards with adult-read evidence and point to a reason; direct one revision.
Standard
Build both fictional cases and explain two food jobs and a revision.
Stretch
Compare alternatives and explain why one food or one model cannot cover every need.
Next: the current Week 6 lesson.

BUILD Science Autumn1 W5 Cards and Labels
PRINTABLE CARDS / WEEK 5
Food-job labels
Cut along the table lines, or point to a card without cutting.
Use fictional menus and paper cards. No tasting, real feeding, calorie/weight discussion or personal dietary disclosure. One food may supply several nutrients.
| Card | Card |
| Bread | Potato |
| Beans | Lentils |
| Carrot | Apple |
| Water | ENERGY |
| GROWTH AND REPAIR | VITAMINS, MINERALS AND FIBRE |
Print only the sets you need. Adult preparation is an alternative to pupil cutting. These are original teaching labels and simplified models.
PRINTABLE CARDS / WEEK 5
Animal-food example links
Cut along the table lines, or point to a card without cutting.
Match these as stated examples, not complete diets or real feeding instructions. Different species have different needs.
| Card | Card |
| Cow | Grass |
| Owl | Mouse |
| Caterpillar | Leaves |
| Goldfish | Suitable fish food |
Print only the sets you need. Adult preparation is an alternative to pupil cutting. These are original teaching labels and simplified models.
PRINTABLE CARDS / WEEK 5
Fictional menu case cards
Cut along the table lines, or point to a card without cutting.
Discuss the card model rather than any person’s real meals.
| Card | Card |
| Case 1 — first model Only bread and water. Keep them; add cards to represent a wider range of nutrient jobs. | Case 2 — first model Meat, rice and vegetables. Replace meat with another protein source to make a meat-free model. |
| Meat | Rice |
| Vegetables |
Print only the sets you need. Adult preparation is an alternative to pupil cutting. These are original teaching labels and simplified models.
