=Nutrients Lesson=



There are six main nutrients. They are:


 * protein
 * carbohydrates
 * fat
 * vitamins
 * minerals
 * water

Here are the questions to answer:
 * what is the nutrient
 * what is the nutrient's role in our body
 * what happens if our body lacks this nutrient or gets too much of it
 * what foods provide this nutrient.

Your groups have been assigned a particular nutrient and each of the group members have a question to answer. Please place your findings below. Use your textbook and other resources from the internet to gather your information. Make sure the sites you use are credible.
