- Know that carbohydrates provide energy required for aerobic exercise
- Understand the importance of a balanced diet with vitamins and minerals to help maintain health
- Able to name some example foods and the group they belong to (e.g. meat is a protein, potatoes are carbohydrates, vegetables provide vitamins)
