You may remember the Eatwell Plate poster which explains the different food groups. I would like you to produce your own version of the poster - you could do this practically using food from around the house, you could produce a Powerpoint with each section having a hyperlink or you could use your drawing skills!

Your work should not just include examples of food from each group, but information about why each food group is good for our body. For example, carbohydrates are good for us because they give us energy. You may need to use the internet to remind yourself of this information.

Watch the video as an introduction and then think about what would happen to your body if you did not do any exercise.

Spend some time researching the effects exercise has on your body. Find out how it helps your bones, your muscles and even your mind!

Present your work however you like. You could do a Powerpoint, a video, a poster or an information leaflet. Whatever you produce, it must try and persuade people to do more exercise by explaining just how important it is for the human body.

Using some household items, investigate a range of materials to find out if they dissolve. You could make a prediction before the investigation and then record the results in a table. Make sure you know what soluble and insoluble mean.
