PUPIL WORKSHEET
Compare and revise model plates
Autumn 1 · Week 6 · Lesson B
Name: ____________________________ Date: __________________
Compare two fictional food-card models, replace a protein source and justify the group relationship while stating model limits.
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. Compare the cases
Use the five-group reference from Monday. The cases are fictional.
| Broad group | Case A | Case B |
| Starchy foods | Rice | Bread |
| Protein-source foods | Chicken | Beans |
| Fruit and vegetables | Carrot | Apple |
| Dairy and alternatives | Milk | Fortified soya alternative |
| Oils and spreads | Not shown by these cards | Not shown by these cards |
PUPIL TASK / Autumn 1 · Week 6 · Lesson B
2. Make and justify a swap
Write, draw, point or dictate as agreed with your teacher.
Make case A meat-free with a different protein-source card. You may direct an adult.
The food I replace: ___.
The replacement: ___.
Both fit the broad ___ group.
My evidence: ___.
A second possible replacement: ___.
PUPIL TASK / Autumn 1 · Week 6 · Lesson B
3. What can this model show?
Write, draw, point or dictate as agreed with your teacher.
Check the five-group reference and consider the full day/week.
A group not shown by the eight cards: ___.
One thing the model shows well: ___.
One thing it cannot tell us: ___.
A food from a group could be eaten at another time: explain ___.
PUPIL TASK / Autumn 1 · Week 6 · Lesson B
4. Improve the explanation
Write, draw, point or dictate as agreed with your teacher.
Keep first/revised models. Choose one exit question to explain, draw or point.
My first explanation: ___.
My clearer explanation: ___.
Supported: name a protein-source food.
Standard: explain chicken → beans.
Stretch: why is one plate an incomplete picture?
Choose a response route
Agree one route with your teacher; you do not need every route.
Supported
Use adult-read labels to compare cases and direct one swap.
Standard
Name group similarities and explain one meat-free protein swap.
Stretch
Compare alternative swaps and explain the missing-group/time/portion limits.
Next: the current Week 7 lesson.

BUILD Science Autumn1 W6 Cards and Labels
PRINTABLE CARDS / WEEK 6
Eight food-group cards
Cut along the table lines, or point to a card without cutting.
Use with the five-group reference. This eight-card model does not show every group or any exact portion.
| Card | Card |
| Rice | Bread |
| Carrot | Apple |
| Chicken | Beans |
| Milk | Fortified soya alternative |
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 6
Five broad group headings
Cut along the table lines, or point to a card without cutting.
Words identify the group; colour is not required. These are broad Eatwell groups. Balance concerns a day/week and individual needs are outside this model.
| Card | Card |
| FRUIT AND VEGETABLES | STARCHY CARBOHYDRATE FOODS |
| BEANS, PULSES, FISH, EGGS, MEAT AND OTHER PROTEIN | DAIRY AND ALTERNATIVES |
| OILS AND SPREADS |
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 6
Reference examples beyond the eight cards
Cut along the table lines, or point to a card without cutting.
These optional reference labels explain the group not shown by the source eight-card activity; they do not prescribe amounts.
| Card | Card |
| Olive oil — oils and spreads example | Lentils — another protein-source example |
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 6
Two model cases
Cut along the table lines, or point to a card without cutting.
Place the listed cards. Compare group roles; do not infer exact nutrient equivalence.
| Card | Card |
| Case A Rice, chicken, carrot, milk. | Case B Bread, beans, apple, fortified soya alternative. |
Print only the sets you need. Adult preparation is an alternative to pupil cutting. These are original teaching labels and simplified models.
