1. <Greet the students and ask about their day>
Narration:
● Well, you remember I told you that we will be catching up
soon, so here I am.
<Tutor in excited tone>
● Now tell me, have you revised everything?
<Tutor can acknowledge the answer>
Connect:
● Cool! Let’s get started by recalling what Alex was doing in the
previous session.
2. Narration:
● We know that Nix was observing the universe while having his
energy drink.
● And then, among all the stars, galaxies and planets, earth
caught his eyes.
● He started contemplating that he was getting energy by
energy drink but how do earthians get energy?
● Upon searching for his query, variety of food consumed by
humans appear on Nix’s screen.
● Nix got curious and wanted to know why there are varieties of
food?
● Can you answer this question?
<Teacher can acknowledge the answers>
● Yes! You all are right. Different food items contain different
nutrients which are required by the human body.
Connect:
● Let’s recall different nutrients we have studied in our previous
session.
3. Narration:
<Tutor can read the highlighted points once>
● Well, rice, bread and a few other food items such as wheat,
oats, potatoes etc are the major sources of carbohydrates.
● Do you remember the functions of carbohydrates:
● Let me tell you, they provide energy to our body.
● Also, they help us to prevent various diseases.
Connect:
● Do you know about our next nutrient ‘fats’?
● Let’s recall fats with their functions and sources now.
4. Narration:
<Tutor can read the highlighted points once>
● Well, groundnut, butter, cheese, ghee etc are the major
sources of fats.
● Also it’s interesting to know that fats provide energy to our
body and help us to store energy for future use.
● Fat acts as an insulator and helps the body to keep warm.
Connect:
● Let’s recall proteins with their functions and sources.
5. Narration:
<Tutor can read the highlighted points once>
● Well, eggs, grams, beans, pulses, nuts, etc are the major
sources of proteins.
● Also, it’s interesting to know that proteins provide strength
to the body and hence are referred to as body-building
food.
● Proteins also add muscle mass to our body.
Connect:
● Let’s see what Nix is upto.
6. Narration:
● Nix then decides to have his energy drink.
● Then suddenly he realises that even humans have energy
drinks, so he decides “Let me see what all it contains?”
Connect:
● Tell me, can you guess the ingredients of an energy drink?
Let’s see what Nix gets after scanning the drink.
7. Narration:
● Nix finds there are so many components in this drink.
● The different components present in the energy drink are
proteins, fats, vitamins, carbohydrates and minerals.
● These are present in different compositions.
Connect:
● Excited Nix then decides to check out for the roles of vitamins
first because he is now well versed with proteins,
carbohydrates and fats.
● And thinking this he starts to scan!
8. Narration:
<Tutor can read the highlighted points once>
● Now, we can see that the vitamins are the group of nutrients
that are needed in very small quantities.
<Tutor encircle ‘Vitamins’>
● Vitamins are important for the proper functioning of our
body and also helps in fighting against various diseases.
● Also, there are 13 types of vitamins required by our body,
vitamin A, Vitamin B complex (It's called B complex as they are
having a group of 8 vitamins under this group of vitamins),
vitamin C, vitamin D, vitamin E and vitamin K.
<Tutor encircles ‘proper’ and tick marks ‘vitamin A’,
‘vitamin B’, ‘vitamin C’, ‘vitamin D’ and ‘vitamin K’.

vitamins as proteins are the body-building food and not
vitamins.

us with more energy than fats and neither do they are
required in large quantities.
