This document is intended to be an activating activity for a study of food and nutrition in 4th grade science. This could be done at the beginning of the unit as a formative assessment to see that students know the difference between food and non-food. It could also be used after some information has been taught to have students classify based on whether the items provide energy for the body to survive, grow, and repair. The document is a Word document and can be used with a Smart Board to allow students to manipulate the pieces.
