The Digestive System & Balanced Diet | Printable Workbook.

Make Grade 5 Science engaging, practical, and activity-led with this Digestive System & Balanced Diet Workbook from TraceBloom Learning. Designed for learners who benefit from doing, investigating, recording, and applying their knowledge, this resource provides a variety of purposeful activities covering digestion, digestive organs, nutrients, food groups, and healthy eating.

Students begin by exploring the human digestive system and identifying important organs such as the mouth, oesophagus (gullet), stomach, liver, small intestine, large intestine, rectum, and anus. They follow the journey of food through the digestive system and develop an understanding of what happens at different stages.

The workbook also introduces digestion in the mouth, including the role of chewing and saliva. Investigation-based activities encourage learners to observe results, record findings, and draw conclusions using simple scientific skills.

The second part focuses on balanced diets, food groups, and nutrients. Learners explore carbohydrates, proteins, fats, vitamins, minerals, and water, while learning why the body needs a variety of foods. They identify food groups, classify foods, examine healthy choices, and consider how different nutrients support the body.

Students then apply their knowledge through practical activities such as building balanced meals, completing food-related investigations, analysing results, planning healthier choices, and solving real-life food and nutrition scenarios.
