Show Answer Key & Explanations Step-by-step solution for: Food pyramid exercise for 2nd grade
Let’s solve this step by step.

We need to organize the food items at the bottom into the correct levels of the food pyramid shown above. The pyramid has 5 levels, from top to bottom:

1. Fats, oils and sweets (top — smallest section)
2. Milk and dairy
3. Bread, cereals and pasta
4. Fish, meat and eggs
5. Fruit and vegetables (bottom — largest section)

Now let’s look at each food item below and match it to the right level.

Step 1: Identify each food item

From left to right, top row:
- Steak → meat → goes in “Fish, meat and eggs”
- Eggs in carton → eggs → “Fish, meat and eggs”
- Lettuce/cabbage → vegetable → “Fruit and vegetables”
- Lollipops and candies → sweets → “Fats, oils and sweets”
- Fish → fish → “Fish, meat and eggs”
- Bread loaf → bread → “Bread, cereals and pasta”
- Apple → fruit → “Fruit and vegetables”

Bottom row:
- Tomato → vegetable → “Fruit and vegetables”
- Cereal box + bowl → cereal → “Bread, cereals and pasta”
- Pasta with sauce → pasta → “Bread, cereals and pasta”
- Banana → fruit → “Fruit and vegetables”
- Milk carton + glass → dairy → “Milk and dairy”

Step 2: Group them by category

Fats, oils and sweets:
→ Lollipops and candies

Milk and dairy:
→ Milk carton + glass

Bread, cereals and pasta:
→ Bread loaf
→ Cereal box + bowl
→ Pasta with sauce

Fish, meat and eggs:
→ Steak
→ Eggs in carton
→ Fish

Fruit and vegetables:
→ Lettuce/cabbage

Step 3: Double-check

Make sure every item is placed correctly according to standard food groups.

- Sweets? Only candy/lollipops → correct.
- Dairy? Only milk → correct.
- Grains? Bread, cereal, pasta → all good.
- Protein? Meat, fish, eggs → yes.
- Fruits & veggies? Apple, banana, tomato, lettuce → perfect.

No duplicates or missing items.
