Frequently asked questions

Which foods count as protective foods?

Fruits and vegetables, because their vitamins and minerals help the body resist illness. Grains are energy-giving; milk, eggs, pulses and meat are body-building.

Is boiling really enough to make water safe?

Boiling kills germs, which is what the Grade 3 syllabus focuses on. It does not remove mud or chemicals, which is why the worksheet also asks about filtering and settling.

Does this cover the Grade 3 EVS food chapter?

Yes - food groups, balanced meals, food sources, food spoilage and safe drinking water are the standard Grade 3 topics in this chapter.
