| Description | Students learn how minerals are an important part of our diets and that different minerals have different functions in the body. They discover that iron is necessary to carry oxygen throughout our bodies. The lesson prepares students to conduct the associated activity during which they design a process to reverse engineer an iron-fortified cereal to determine how much iron it contains. Students learn that minerals are a necessary part of our diets and that different minerals have different functions in the body. More specifically, they discover that iron is necessary to carry oxygen throughout our bodies. In the associated activity, students design a process to reverse engineer an iron-fortified cereal to determine how much iron it contains by removing most of the iron from the cereal. |
