Food and nutrition chapters often present deficiency diseases as a list to memorise. This set shows what those deficiencies do at tissue level, in the cornea, skin, bone, thyroid, heart muscle and blood, which makes the link between diet and health far more concrete for students.
A practical approach is to give each group one nutrient, ask them to find foods rich in it, and then have them present the matching image using its callouts. The set connects naturally with the digestive system topic and with textbook conditions such as rickets, goitre and anaemia, making it a useful aid for health education classes.
