Balanced Diet - KS3 Biology Extension Pack

Four ready-to-use enrichment activities for KS3 Biology students who've mastered the basics of balanced diet 🧠 - ideal for extension tasks, homework, cover lessons, or stretching high achievers. No preparation required. Suitable for students aged 11-14.

Balanced diet refers to eating the right proportions of carbohydrates, protein, fats, vitamins, minerals, fibre and water to keep the body healthy.

Each activity targets higher-order thinking: a 12-term vocabulary matching exercise covering key nutrition terms such as saturated fat, fibre and the Eatwell Guide; a 30-mark challenge quiz with harder multiple-choice, true/false and data-interpretation questions on daily energy needs; a 20-mark school canteen case study asking students to evaluate a real-world menu change; and a creative Teach It Back task where students plan a simple explanation of food groups for a younger pupil, assessed with a provided rubric. Full answer keys and marking guidance are included. Watch the full lesson on YouTube: https://youtu.be/m2iIS9R9cWE

Pairs with the main 100-mark KS3 Biology worksheet on this topic. Buy both together as a complete lesson bundle and save £1.
