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.
This resource forms one part of a topic on nutrition and digestion called ‘Food Counter’. You can find a starter activity for this topic on the GSK STEM Education website, here, or find the other three resources at these links:
