Vitamins and Minerals

We took learning about nutrients a step further by learning about vitamins and minerals. Students worked in pairs and created a poster for a vitamin or mineral. The poster had three criteria:

1. Name of vitamin or mineral
2. Where it is found (food source- specifically vegetables/fruits)
3. How it helps our body

After they created their poster, they presented in front of their classmates. This was a great way for them to learn more in depth about vitamins and minerals in a way that was creative. Throughout the day I assessed their learning by asking them questions about the vitamin or mineral.

Below are pictures of the students working:
