Nutrients are substances that are essential for the growth, development, and maintenance of the human body. They provide the body with energy, support the immune system, help with tissue repair, and aid in various physiological functions.
Types of Nutrients
- Carbohydrates: Main source of energy for the body. Found in foods like bread, rice, pasta, and fruits.
- Proteins: Important for building and repairing tissues. Found in foods like meat, fish, eggs, and dairy products.
- Fats: Provide energy and support cell growth. Found in foods like oils, butter, nuts, and avocados.
- Vitamins: Essential for various bodily functions. Found in fruits, vegetables, and fortified foods.
- Minerals: Important for bone health, fluid balance, and nerve function. Found in foods like leafy greens, nuts, and dairy products.
- Water: Vital for hydration and various biochemical reactions in the body. Found in water and fluids.

PHYSICAL SCIENCE
Motion and Stability: Forces and Interactions
Investigate the resulting motion of objects when forces of different strengths and directions act upon them (e.g., object being pushed, object being pulled, two objects colliding).
Use observations and data from investigations to determine if a design solution (e.g., designing a ramp to increase the speed of an object in order to move a stationary object) solves the problem of using force to change the speed or direction of an object.
LIFE SCIENCE
Ecosystems: Interactions, Energy, and Dynamics
Distinguish between living and nonliving things and verify what living things need to survive (e.g., animals needing food, water, and air; plants needing nutrients, water, sunlight, and air).
