Food cravings may seem odd, but often they occur when your body is signalling that you need certain nutrients.

This independent learning activity lets students look at how cravings work.

• Lab Activity 1: Digestion: The Journey
• Lab Activity 2: Intolerable Digestion
• Independent Learning 2: Nutrition and Good Health
