They explore what different nutrients do, such as calcium for bones and vitamins for energy, in simple, age-appropriate terms.
When do first graders learn about food and nutrition?⌄
Food and nutrition is typically introduced in Grade 1 as part of a human body or health science unit. It often connects to other school programs like the school lunch menu, garden projects, or cooking activities that make the learning hands-on.
