Test different foods to see if they contain carbohydrate (iodine test) or fat (alcohol/water emulsion). With these two simple and effective tests, the students can classify different foods by nutrients.
This activity is connected to the Nutrition unit. Rather than just having students learn the different food groups, let them find out for themselves. Keep the food labels so that the students can look at them afterwards and see if they were correct - literacy at understanding nutritional information.
