 * Within this lesson, the students will be introduced to the energy within food (ie calories and kilojules), and develop the skills to understand why they are important. Once they have understood the basics of this, they then can apply and work out how many calories and kilojules needed per day for their chosen athlete (ie a 1500m swimmer). Students will have access to the computer room, where they will be able to use the calorie converter to work out the necessary calculations (this links in with Mathemaatics and Information technology).
