This tutorial uses pictures, graphs, and text to explain what trace elements are, where they come from, and how they affect human health. The lesson focuses on iodine, flourine, and selenium, but also provides information about several other common trace elements such as calcium, magnesium, potassium, sodium, iron, zinc, and more. Students follow the tutorial frame by frame and can take a quiz at the end.
