The nutrition area has information on carbohydrates, proteins, fats, vitamins, minerals, and fiber. Most of this section is written for middle school students, but links to more advanced information for high school students on chemical structure are provided. The human digestive system area draws analogies between the digestive system and a sports team. Again, most of the section is set for middle school with information on biochemistry for more advanced students. The Web site provides a teacher's resource guide to help educators use the site effectively.
