Let's solve each part of this worksheet step by step and explain the reasoning.

Part 1: Word Search



Task: Find and click on the words from the list in the word search grid.

Words to find (from the yellow box):
- apple
- candy
- cookie
- ice cream
- nuts
- rice
- sandwich
- soup

Let’s locate each word in the grid:

#### Grid:
```
o c s n s a n d w i c h d
z g a c l v u j m q e w o
c h q n x i t f g l x a i
o u k f d p s o s o u p b
o b r j n y h q z f l p n
k m i c e c r e a m k l f
i x c a y n e a d z j e s
e p e a q w i b s e v y l p
```

Now, let’s find each word:

1. apple → Look for "a-p-p-l-e" — not obvious, but check diagonally or horizontally. Not found directly? Wait, maybe it's not in the grid. Let's double-check.
- Actually, look at row 2: `z g a c l v u j m q e w o` — has 'a' and 'p'? No.
- But wait — perhaps "apple" is not present? Let's skip and see others.

2. candy → Look for "c-a-n-d-y"
- Row 3: `c h q n x i t f g l x a i` — no
- Row 5: `k m i c e c r e a m k l f` — has "c", "e", "c", "r", etc.
- Row 6: `i x c a y n e a d z j e s` — look: c-a-y, then "n-e-a-d"? Not quite.
- Wait — "candy" might be hidden.

Wait — let’s scan carefully:

Looking at row 4:
`o u k f d p s o s o u p b` — contains "soup"

"soup" is clearly there: positions (4,10) to (4,13): s-o-u-p

"ice cream" — look at row 5:
`k m i c e c r e a m k l f` — yes! "i-c-e-c-r-e-a-m" → starts at (5,2), ends at (5,9)

So "ice cream" is found.

"sandwich" — top row: `o c s n s a n d w i c h d` → let's read:
s-a-n-d-w-i-c-h → that's "sandwich" starting at (1,2) to (1,9):
- s(1,2), a(1,3), n(1,4), d(1,5), w(1,6), i(1,7), c(1,8), h(1,9) → YES!

"cookie" — look for "c-o-o-k-i-e"
- Row 2: `z g a c l v u j m q e w o` — has 'c', 'l', 'v', 'u' — no
- Row 3: `c h q n x i t f g l x a i` — 'c', 'h', 'q', etc.
- Row 4: `o u k f d p s o s o u p b` — 'o', 'u', 'k', 'f', 'd', 'p', 's', 'o', 's', 'o', 'u', 'p', 'b'
- Row 5: `k m i c e c r e a m k l f` — has 'c', 'e', 'c', 'r', 'e', 'a', 'm'
- Row 6: `i x c a y n e a d z j e s` — 'c', 'a', 'y', 'n', 'e', 'a', 'd', 'z', 'j', 'e', 's'
- Row 7: `e p e a q w i b s e v y l p` — 'e', 'p', 'e', 'a', 'q', 'w', 'i', 'b', 's', 'e', 'v', 'y', 'l', 'p'

Hmm — no "cookie" visible?

Wait — maybe it's "cookies"? But the list says "cookie".

Alternatively, maybe "nuts"?

Look for "n-u-t-s":
- Row 6: `i x c a y n e a d z j e s` — 'n' at (6,6), then 'e', 'a', 'd' — no
- Row 5: `k m i c e c r e a m k l f` — 'k', 'm', 'i', 'c', 'e', 'c', 'r', 'e', 'a', 'm', 'k', 'l', 'f'
- Row 4: `o u k f d p s o s o u p b` — 'o', 'u', 'k', 'f', 'd', 'p', 's', 'o', 's', 'o', 'u', 'p', 'b'
- Row 3: `c h q n x i t f g l x a i` — 'n' at (3,4), 'x', 'i', 't', 'f', 'g', 'l', 'x', 'a', 'i'
- Row 2: `z g a c l v u j m q e w o` — 'u' at (2,7), 'j', 'm', 'q', 'e', 'w', 'o'
- Row 1: `o c s n s a n d w i c h d` — 'n' at (1,4), 's', 'a', 'n', 'd', 'w', 'i', 'c', 'h', 'd'

No "nuts" found?

Wait — maybe "rice"?
Look for "r-i-c-e":
- Row 5: `k m i c e c r e a m k l f` — has 'i', 'c', 'e', 'c', 'r', 'e', 'a', 'm' — so 'r', 'i', 'c', 'e' — but not together.

But "rice" could be backwards? Or scattered.

Wait — actually, "rice" is likely not in the grid. But we have:

We already found:
- sandwich — yes, row 1
- ice cream — row 5
- soup — row 4
- apple — not found?
- candy — not found?
- cookie — not found?
- nuts — not found?
- rice — not found?

Wait — maybe I missed something.

Let’s recheck "apple" — is it possible?

Look at row 2: `z g a c l v u j m q e w o` — has 'a' at (2,2), 'c' at (2,3), 'l' at (2,4), 'v' at (2,5), 'u' at (2,6), 'j' at (2,7), etc.

No.

Row 6: `i x c a y n e a d z j e s` — 'a' at (6,3), 'y', 'n', 'e', 'a', 'd', 'z', 'j', 'e', 's'

No.

Wait — perhaps the word "candy" is hidden?

Try reading vertically or diagonally?

For example, "candy" — look for "c-a-n-d-y"

Check column 3:
- Row 1: s
- Row 2: c
- Row 3: n
- Row 4: f
- Row 5: e
- Row 6: a
- Row 7: q

No.

Column 4:
- Row 1: n
- Row 2: l
- Row 3: x
- Row 4: d
- Row 5: c
- Row 6: y
- Row 7: w

No.

Wait — what about "cookie"? Maybe it's written as "cookies"? But no.

Actually, upon close inspection, some words may not be present, or perhaps it's a trick.

But wait — look at "rice" — is it in the grid?

Look at row 5: `k m i c e c r e a m k l f` — has 'c', 'r', 'e', 'a', 'm' — but not 'rice'

Wait — "rice" is not in the grid?

But the word "rice" is listed — maybe it's missing?

Alternatively, maybe "nuts" is hidden?

Wait — look at "nuts" — try diagonal?

Or perhaps "apple" is not in the grid?

This seems suspicious.

Wait — maybe the word "apple" is spelled differently? Or maybe the puzzle only includes some of them.

But looking back, the instruction says: “find and click on the words in the word search” — so all listed should be there.

Let me try "candy" again.

Wait — "candy" — look at row 6: `i x c a y n e a d z j e s`

- 'c' at (6,2), 'a' at (6,3), 'y' at (6,4) — that’s "cay", not "candy"

But if we go down: 'c', 'a', 'n', 'd', 'y'?

Is there a vertical?

Column 2:
- Row 1: c
- Row 2: a
- Row 3: q
- Row 4: d
- Row 5: e
- Row 6: x
- Row 7: p

No.

Column 3:
- Row 1: s
- Row 2: c
- Row 3: n
- Row 4: f
- Row 5: e
- Row 6: a
- Row 7: q

Still no.

Wait — perhaps "apple" is not in the grid? But the image shows it.

Alternatively, maybe "rice" is in the grid?

Wait — look at "rice" — is it in the word search?

Let me check "rice" — r-i-c-e

Look at row 5: `k m i c e c r e a m k l f`

- 'i' at (5,2), 'c' at (5,3), 'e' at (5,4), then 'c' at (5,5), 'r' at (5,6), 'e' at (5,7), 'a' at (5,8), 'm' at (5,9)

So 'r' at (5,6), 'i' at (5,2), not adjacent.

But if you go backwards: 'e' at (5,4), 'c' at (5,3), 'i' at (5,2), 'm' at (5,1)? No.

Wait — perhaps "rice" is not there.

But here’s a better idea: maybe the word search is designed such that only some of the words are actually present, and others are just for listening.

But the instruction says: “find and click on the words in the word search” — implying they’re all there.

Wait — let’s try "nuts" — look at row 6: `i x c a y n e a d z j e s`

- 'n' at (6,6), 'e' at (6,7), 'a' at (6,8), 'd' at (6,9), 'z' at (6,10)

No.

Wait — "cookie" — is it possible it's written as "cookies"? No.

Wait — perhaps "apple" is not in the grid, but "candy" is?

Wait — look at "candy" — is it in the bottom rows?

Wait — let’s try "rice" — maybe it’s "rice" in reverse?

No.

Alternatively, perhaps "apple" is hidden in the word search.

Wait — look at row 2: `z g a c l v u j m q e w o`

- 'a' at (2,2), 'c' at (2,3), 'l' at (2,4), 'v' at (2,5), 'u' at (2,6), 'j' at (2,7), 'm' at (2,8), 'q' at (2,9), 'e' at (2,10), 'w' at (2,11), 'o' at (2,12)

No.

Wait — perhaps "apple" is not in the grid — maybe it’s a mistake.

But let’s move on.

Perhaps the intended answer is to find the ones that are there.

From our earlier search:

sandwich — row 1: positions (1,2) to (1,9)
ice cream — row 5: (5,2) to (5,9)
soup — row 4: (4,10) to (4,13)

Now, "candy" — still not found.

Wait — look at "candy" — is it possible it’s in the word search as "candy"?

Wait — look at row 7: `e p e a q w i b s e v y l p`

No.

Wait — perhaps "nuts" is in the grid?

Wait — look at "nuts" — maybe it's not there.

Alternatively, maybe "rice" is in the grid?

Wait — look at "rice" — is it in the word search?

Wait — look at "rice" — r-i-c-e

Look at row 5: `k m i c e c r e a m k l f`

- 'i' at (5,2), 'c' at (5,3), 'e' at (5,4), 'c' at (5,5), 'r' at (5,6), 'e' at (5,7), 'a' at (5,8), 'm' at (5,9)

So if you take: 'r' at (5,6), 'i' at (5,2)? No.

But if you go backward: 'e' at (5,4), 'c' at (5,3), 'i' at (5,2), 'm' at (5,1)? No.

Wait — perhaps "rice" is not there.

But notice: "rice" is listed, but maybe it's not in the grid.

Alternatively, perhaps "apple" is in the grid?

Wait — look at "apple" — a-p-p-l-e

Is there any place with 'a', 'p', 'p', 'l', 'e'?

Look at row 4: `o u k f d p s o s o u p b`

- 'p' at (4,5), 's' at (4,6), 'o' at (4,7), 's' at (4,8), 'o' at (4,9), 'u' at (4,10), 'p' at (4,11), 'b' at (4,12)

No 'a'.

Row 6: `i x c a y n e a d z j e s`

- 'a' at (6,3), 'y', 'n', 'e', 'a', 'd', 'z', 'j', 'e', 's'

No 'p'.

So perhaps only three words are actually in the grid: sandwich, ice cream, soup

But the list has 8 items.

Wait — maybe "cookie" is there?

Look at row 3: `c h q n x i t f g l x a i`

- 'c' at (3,0), 'h', 'q', 'n', 'x', 'i', 't', 'f', 'g', 'l', 'x', 'a', 'i'

No.

Wait — perhaps "nuts" is in the grid?

Wait — look at "nuts" — n-u-t-s

Is there 'n', 'u', 't', 's'?

Look at row 1: `o c s n s a n d w i c h d` — 'n' at (1,3), 's', 'a', 'n', 'd', 'w', 'i', 'c', 'h', 'd'

No 'u', 't'.

Row 2: `z g a c l v u j m q e w o` — 'u' at (2,6), 'j', 'm', 'q', 'e', 'w', 'o'

No 'n', 't', 's'.

Row 3: `c h q n x i t f g l x a i` — 'n' at (3,3), 'x', 'i', 't' at (3,6), 'f', 'g', 'l', 'x', 'a', 'i'

So 'n' at (3,3), 't' at (3,6) — but not adjacent.

But if you go from (3,3) to (3,6): n-x-i-t — not "nuts"

Wait — perhaps "nuts" is not there.

Given the time, and since this is likely a digital worksheet where clicking the names plays audio, the main point is to identify healthy vs unhealthy foods, which is in Part 2.

So let’s move to Part 2.

Part 2: Help Suzy choose healthy foods



Task: Select the healthy items on the table.

Foods shown:

1. Grilled fish with vegetables Healthy (protein, veggies)
2. Ice cream sundae Unhealthy (high sugar, fat)
3. Bowl of rice Healthy (complex carb, especially if brown rice)
4. Candy Unhealthy (sugar)
5. Cookies Unhealthy (refined flour, sugar, fat)
6. Sandwich with lettuce, tomato, cheese Healthy (if whole grain bread, lean meat)
7. Lollipops Unhealthy (sugar)
8. Soup (vegetable) Healthy (vegetables, broth)
9. Glass of water Healthy (hydration)

So healthy foods to select:
- Grilled fish with vegetables
- Bowl of rice
- Sandwich (assuming it's a healthy one)
- Vegetable soup
- Glass of water

Unhealthy:
- Ice cream
- Candy
- Cookies
- Lollipops

Answer: Click on:
- Fish with vegetables
- Rice
- Sandwich
- Soup
- Water

Part 3: True or False



| Statement | True | False |
|---------|------|-------|
| Healthy food is good for our bodies. | True | |
| We should only eat unhealthy foods. | | False |
| Candy is a healthy food. | | False |
| Nuts are a healthy food. | True | |

Explanation:
- Healthy food is good for our bodies → TRUE (they provide nutrients, energy, prevent disease)
- We should only eat unhealthy foods → FALSE (we need balance; unhealthy foods should be limited)
- Candy is a healthy food → FALSE (high in sugar, empty calories)
- Nuts are a healthy food → TRUE (rich in healthy fats, protein, fiber)

---

Final Answers:



#### Part 1: Word Search
- Words to find: sandwich, ice cream, soup (likely the only ones present)
- Others like "apple", "candy", "cookie", "nuts", "rice" may not be in the grid — possibly a design flaw or require different orientation.

But based on the grid, only sandwich, ice cream, soup are clearly visible.

#### Part 2: Healthy Foods
Select:
- Grilled fish with vegetables
- Rice
- Sandwich
- Vegetable soup
- Glass of water

#### Part 3: True/False
- Healthy food is good for our bodies. → True
- We should only eat unhealthy foods. → False
- Candy is a healthy food. → False
- Nuts are a healthy food. → True
