To solve this worksheet, we need to identify the food groups represented by the pictures at the bottom of the pyramid and write their names in the boxes provided. We will go from left to right.
Step 1: Identify the first item (Far Left)
*

Step 2: Identify the second item
*
Picture: A sliced bell pepper (vegetable).
*
Food Group: Peppers are vegetables.
*
Answer for Box 2: Vegetables
Step 3: Identify the third item
*
Picture: A pear (fruit).
*
Food Group: Pears are fruits.

1.
Grains (or Bread & Cereal)
2.
Vegetables
