Choosing and Preparing Nutritious Foods Practice Set
By Allen H.
A practice worksheet set for 9th graders covering nutrition vocabulary such as nutrient density and food safety, paired with Goodheart-Willcox Chapter 8, Lesson 8.3. It builds terminology recall and concept application through matching exercises and follow-up items, and it works well as a short independent or partner review.
Customize for your classroom
Teacher Guide & Tips
- Use this as a review or reinforcement activity right after students read Lesson 8.3 in the online textbook, roughly 20 to 30 minutes.
- Discussion question: Why might a food with fewer calories not always be the most nutrient-dense choice?
- Scaffold for struggling readers: Have students reread the Key Concepts callout and pair up before attempting the vocabulary matching section.
- Extension for advanced students: Ask them to rank three everyday foods by nutrient density and justify their reasoning with specific nutrients.
- Estimated time: about 25 minutes for the full set, including a brief whole-class debrief.
