Health

Sugar!  Sugar!
Students view the physical content of sugar in several drinks, candies and fruits.  They make comparisons and observations as to which choices of snacks are the most healthful and least amount of sugar.  This lesson is part of nutrition unit which includes learning about the updated Food Pyramid.  Students integrate math as well by calculating the amount of sugar in each food/drink item.  (1 sugar cube = 1 teaspoon of sugar or 4.2 grams of sugar).
