Micronutrient Fact Sheet
Create a micronutrient fact sheet! Please read carefully. Your grade will be determined on whether or not you meet each of the requirements below. Be creative and have fun!
Your task: CREATE A FACT SHEET (1 – 2 pages maximum) for your micronutrient of choice. Paste it here for other students to view. This will serve as your presentation of knowledge. Respond to at least 2 of your peers.

Be sure to review for scholarly research and government websites for information about your micronutrient. Start here: https://www.nal.usda.gov/fnic (Links to an external site.)
The “Fact Sheet” must answer each all of the following:
- What is the name of your micronutrient?
- How is it involved with health and disease?
- What are the DRIs for adolescents, adults, and older adults? Be sure to cite all four reference values:
- Estimated Average Requirements (EAR);
- Recommended Dietary Allowances (RDA);
- Adequate Intakes (AI);
- Tolerable Upper Intake Levels (UL).
- What happens if you are too low or too high in that micronutrient?
- What are good food sources for that nutrient?
