This tool is called "Mission Nutrition." It is from kidshealth.org, which is a website for kids can explore and learn about their health.
This Content Exploration tool is a Drill-and-Practice tool. It is drill and practice because students use this tool to review knowledge they already have on nutrition. This activity seems like a game to kids because it is fun to answer the questions and see how many they can answer correctly. The students are shown a picture of an interactive kitchen where they can click around on objects and select answers. They are given one question/task to complete at a time such as: "Open the fridge and find the drink that contains the most added sugar." Students simply click on the fridge to open it, then click the drink they think contains the most added sugar based on information they have already learned about nutrition. Students are given feedback on their answer immediately and if they are wrong, they are given the chance to try again. If they select the correct answer, a follow-up question is provided for them to answer and then they can move on to the next part of the activity (next question).
This tool is very valuable for Health Education because teachers can tell their students to go to this site and play this game after a lecture or a reading in order to see how much of the material they actually learned. Students can use this game to practice and quiz themselves on what they have learned in class and to get feedback on how well they know the material. This tool keeps kids entertained while they test their knowledge.

This drill-and-practice tool makes learning more effective because students are able to practice the information they have already learned. It reinforces their previous knowledge and helps them retain the information more effectively because it causes them to answer questions about the material. It also enhances learning by creating an interactive game that entertains students and makes them want to learn so they can perform well in the game.
