Abstract: The article is devoted to the study of the role of microelements in the system of science education for school students. The biological and practical significance of microelements such as iodine, iron, fluorine, zinc, copper, manganese, and selenium for human health is considered, including the effects of their deficiency and excess on the development of diseases. The necessity of incorporating this topic into the educational process is substantiated in order to form a holistic understanding of the interrelation between nutrition, the environment, and health. Methodological approaches to the study of microelements are analyzed, including problem-based learning, project activities, the use of digital technologies, and integrative approaches, as well as examples of practical and research assignments, case studies, and interactive methods that enhance students’ motivation and develop critical thinking. Special attention is paid to the practical importance for rural schools, where the influence of natural factors on children’s health is particularly pronounced. The study demonstrates how the educational process fosters ecological thinking, rational nutrition skills, and students’ research competencies.
